Best Answer

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.

How many alleles do your gametes have?

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.
