A human gamete has 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome. However, special cases may arise due to aneuploidy which can result in two copies of an autosome, e.g. chromosome 21, 18, etc. or the non-disjunction of sex chromosomes, X and/or Y.

Humans contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one set inherited from each parent. During gamete formation, this chromosome number is halved to 23 single chromosomes in each gamete (sperm or egg). Therefore, humans contain a total of 23 unique gametes.

∙ 13y agoThe gametes are sperm and egg cells.
Sperm cells contain: mitochondria, and DNA material
Egg cells contain: a lot of nutrients and other things needed for development of an embryo, and DNA material, organelles.

∙ 12y agomen contain an unlimited number, as germ cells are continually producing new gametes, or sperm cells.
Women on the other hand, only have a few, as they are born with all the eggs that they will have throughout their whole life. This number is still pretty large.

Gametes, such as sperm and egg cells in humans, contain half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body. This means that in humans, gametes have 23 chromosomes each, instead of the usual 46 chromosomes found in most body cells.
Each gamete contains a single set of chromosomes, so they have half the number of alleles present in a somatic cell. For humans, gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes and therefore contain 23 alleles.
sex cells, like sperm or eggs in humans. They are normally haploid.
Gametes only contain one half the total genetic information.
Haploid gametes have half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell, so in humans, there are 23 chromosomes in a haploid gamete.
Humans have 23 chromosomes in their gametes, which are sperm and egg cells. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic cell, which has 46 chromosomes.
Gametes, such as sperm and egg cells in humans, contain half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body. This means that in humans, gametes have 23 chromosomes each, instead of the usual 46 chromosomes found in most body cells.
Human cells contain forty-six chromosomes each. An exception to this is gametes (oocytes and sperm), which contain twenty-three chromosomes each.
Since the gametes contain one half the number, the zygote will have to have the full number of 40.
23
The answer is 40
Each gamete contains a single set of chromosomes, so they have half the number of alleles present in a somatic cell. For humans, gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes and therefore contain 23 alleles.
as in gametes? per human there is around 24
sex cells, like sperm or eggs in humans. They are normally haploid.

Gametes only contain one half the total genetic information.
Gametes join during what to form a diploid zygote
