Best Answer

A sperm cell is the male sex cell. As such it only carries 1/2 of the number of chromosomes of a regular cell. This is because it fuses with the female sex cell to form a complete set of chromosomes. Essentially, where the number of chromosomes in the muscle cell is 2n, the sperm cell only has n chromosomes.

the answer is no. in a muscle cell or any somatic cell, there are 46 chromosomes! on the other hand, a sperm cell has 23 chromosomes which fertilises with an egg to restores the number to 46!!

Compare the numbers of chromosomes in different species?

The chromosome number is specific for each type of organism. The exact chromosome number must be maintained for the species to continue. This means that as cells reproduce, the new cells must have the same number of chromosomes as did the original cells
