The number of chromosomes found in a sex gell depends on the organism discussed. The number of chromosomes in a sex cell is half the number found in the body cells. Human body cells have 46 chromosomes, their sex cells have 23.
Many sex-linked genes are found on the X chromosome. More than 100 sex-linked genetic disorders have now been mapped to the X chromosome. The human Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome and appears to contain only few genes.
Genes for sex-linked traits can be found on the sex chromosomes - X and Y. Almost all sex-linked traits are determined by the X chromosome, because it is much larger than the Y chromosome and can thus carry more genes. A few sex-linked traits are known on the Y chromosome, including - believe it or not - hairy ears.
Humans have 23 chromosomes in their sex cells.
No, there are 46 chromosomes in one cell. A gamete, or sex cell, has 23 chromosomes because during fertilization, the female and male gametes (egg and sperm, respectively) come together to form a new cell with 46 chromosomes
Most sex-linked traits are found on the X chromosome because males have only one X chromosome, so any gene on the X chromosome will be expressed in males. In females, who have two X chromosomes, one X chromosome can compensate for any harmful gene on the other X chromosome.
Homologous Chromosomes
23 haploid sex cells
A human sex cell has 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome (23 total).
Chromosome#19 is autosomal cell when refering to the human system. The #23 chromsomes is the sex cell in the human body system.
Xy chromosome
Many sex-linked genes are found on the X chromosome. More than 100 sex-linked genetic disorders have now been mapped to the X chromosome. The human Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome and appears to contain only few genes.
In males, sperm contain only one sex chromosome. In females, eggs contain only one sex chromosome.

In males, sperm contain only one sex chromosome. In females, eggs contain only one sex chromosome.
Sickle cell anemia is not sex linked.
The sex chromosome typically carried by an ovum is X-chromosome. The sperm may carry either x or y sex chromosome.
