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.
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.
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.
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
as in gametes? per human there is around 24
