Human gametes have 23 chromosomes.
(In cases of abnormality there may be a different number of chromosomes in a gamete).
It varies from organism to organism. Humans have 23 chromosomes in a haploid (gamate) cell.
A Drosophila gamete has 4 chromosomes. Drosophila, also known as fruit flies, have a diploid number of 8 chromosomes in their somatic cells, which means each gamete will have half of that number.
Haploid gametes have half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell, so in humans, there are 23 chromosomes in a haploid gamete.
Each gamete contributes an equal number of chromosomes to the fertilized egg. The male gamete (sperm) typically contains 23 chromosomes, and the female gamete (egg) also contains 23 chromosomes. Together, they combine to form the full set of 46 chromosomes in a normal human cell.
If all of the chromosomes fail to separate in meiosis, then nondisjunction can result in a diploid gamete. This is a type of chromosomal mutation. In animals, a zygote produced from the union of a mutated diploid gamete and a normal haploid gamete will have triploidy, which is lethal. In plants, this is not necessarily lethal.
23 chromosomes
In a gamete (sex) cell, there are 23 chromosomes. A gamete is a haploid, or n, whereas a somatic (normal) cell is a diploid, or 2n, and has 46 chromosomes.

Each gamete has only 23 chromosomes
There are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete
A Drosophila gamete has 4 chromosomes. Drosophila, also known as fruit flies, have a diploid number of 8 chromosomes in their somatic cells, which means each gamete will have half of that number.
A gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic (diploid) cell. Therefore a zebra gamete would have 25 chromosomes if 50 is the diploid number.
Sperm cells, or gametes normally have 23 chromosomes each.
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).
