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.
The 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.
men 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 are either egg of a female or sperm of a male!!!!!
22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome(s).

Human cells contain forty-six chromosomes each. An exception to this is gametes (oocytes and sperm), which contain twenty-three chromosomes each.
sex cells, like sperm or eggs in humans. They are normally haploid.
If gametes were diploid, that would mean the zygote would get 46 chromosomes (in humans that is) from his father and 46 chromosomes from his mother, that would add up to 92.
Gametes should contain one allele for each gene locus. This means that gametes will have one allele for each of the genes on the chromosomes they are carrying. It is estimated that humans have about 20,000-30,000 genes - meaning each gamete would therefore have 20,000-30,000 alleles.
Since gametes are haploids, they would each contain haploid number of chromosomes, 15 chromosomes.
Human gametes contain 23 chromosomes.

Since the gametes contain one half the number, the zygote will have to have the full number of 40.

The answer is 40
as in gametes? per human there is around 24

The answer is 40
Gametes join during what to form a diploid zygote
