In humans the sex cells are haploid (n) and carry 23 chromosomes. Somatic cells are diploid (2n) and carry 46 chromosomes.

How much hereditary information is contained in a human sex cell compared to the amount of hereditary information in a human body cell?

Half. A somatic cell contains 2n and a gamete contains just n, where n is the number of chromosomes, which varies among species.Stating the obvious, if an animal has to have 2n, and is formed via sexual reproduction then mathematically speaking, both gametes have to only have n. The survivability of a 3n animal (of a species/generation that is 2n) is low or impossible, and will usually die, sometimes even before being born. Such errors in division do occur, and they are naturally miscarried.
