Each parent donates 23 chromosomes to his/her child.....23 chromosomes from mother and 23 chromosomes from father makes a total of 46 chromosomes a healthy child.
A normal mouse gamete would have 19 autosomes.
A human gamete has 23 chromosomes. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a regular human cell, which has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
A human gamete does not have any pairs of homologous chromosomes. A single human gamete contains 23 chromosomes, or a half set. None of these chromosomes are homologous with each other.
In a human cell we should have 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs. We get 23 of these chromosomes from the male gamete (sperm) and the other 23 from the female gamete (egg).
law of segregation by Gregor Mendel tells us that.... a parent has 2 pairs of alleles, and when a gamete is being formed, the pairs of alleles segregate [ separate ] from each other, so that the gamete receives only 1 pair... and this is random... so it has 50% chance for 1 pair and 50% chance for the other pair... The statement of the law is as follows:- Allele pairs separate or segregate during gamete formation, and randomly unite during fertilization.

there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete
Mendel's Principle of Segregation states that during the formation of gametes, two alleles for each gene segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. This explains how offspring inherit one allele from each parent.
In sexual reproduction each parent contributes only one allele to the offspring. This is why meiosis takes diploid cells and makes them haploid. The process meiosis separates the homologous pairs, separating the alleles from each other. Thus, each gamete produced has only one allele for each trait. When the male gamete (sperm) fuses with the female gamete (egg) and fertilization takes place, the resulting zygote has two alleles; one from the father and one from the mother.
The parent cell will be diploid and contain paired chromosomes. The haploid cell will contain only one copy of each chromosome. In humans for example there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. In a somatic cell, which is diploid, the 23 pairs are present. In a gamete (sperm or egg cell), which is haploid there are only 23 chromosomes - unpaired. This is so that when the sperm and egg meet at fertilisation there are 46 chromosomes - 23 pairs - the correct number for the organism.

Unit factors are genes which comes in pairs as observed by Gregor Mendel. These segregate during gamete formation which occurs randomly.
