No. These cells contain only half the number of chromosomes as the other cells of the body. Each egg and sperm cell contain only 23 chromosomes.

If each human cell consists of 46 chromosomes how many chromosomes are in each egg or sperm cell?
23
During spermatogenesis a cell with 2n chromosomes divides to form four sperm cells. How many chromosomes are in each sperm cell?
8n
In humans when a new cell is formed from a sperm cell an egg cell how many chromosomes does it have?
i think 26 i think 26 46 chromosomes. The sperm cell and egg cell each contain 23 chromosomes, totalling 46. The sperm cells and egg cells are known as haploid cells or sex cells (meaning having 1 set of chromosomes). Once the sperm cell and egg cell joins, a diploid cell is formed (meaning having 2 sets of chromosomes), and a zygote begins to form. The human body contains 2 sets of chromosomes, one maternal and one paternal.
If an organism has a diploid or 2n number of 16 how many chromosomes do its sperm and egg cells contain?
Diploid cells contain twice the number of chromosomes as haploid cells. Sex cells (sperm and egg) are haploids. Therefore, if the diploid number is 16, sperm and egg cells must contain 8 each.
How many single chromosomes do humans have in their body cells?
Human cells contain forty-six chromosomes each. An exception to this is gametes (oocytes and sperm), which contain twenty-three chromosomes each.

How many chromosomes does each new cell contain mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?
How many chromosomes does each new cell contain after mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?
Human cell contains ---------- chromosomes12182646?
All human cells contain 46 chromosomes except for the sperm and egg cells which contain 23 each.

How are daughter cell differ from the parent cell?
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.
How many chromosomes are in each sperm cell?
23. There are 46 chromosomes in a human, half from the egg and half from the sperm.
What form of cell division halves the number of chromosomes?
Meiosis. Takes place during gametogenesis, the formation of sperm or ova. The final sperm or ova formed will each contain 23 chromosomes, haploid number.

How many chromosomes are found in human egg and sperm cell?
There are 23 chromosomes in each the sperm and the egg. When they fuse, the resulting embryo will have 46 chromosomes.
