46 chromosomes. The sperm cell and egg cell each contain 23 chromosomes, totalling 46. The sperm cells and egg cells are known as haploid cells or sex cells (meaning having 1 set of chromosomes). Once the sperm cell and egg cell joins, a diploid cell is formed (meaning having 2 sets of chromosomes), and a zygote begins to form. The human body contains 2 sets of chromosomes, one maternal and one paternal.

How many chromosomes would you expect to find in a sperm cell?
24.This is because in chimpanzees, as in humans, the gametes (eggs and sperms) are formed by the type of division called meiosis. During meiosis, the number of chromosomes is halved.
Is sperm haploid or diploid?
haploid - they contain a single set of unpaired chromosomes
During spermatogenesis a cell with 2n chromosomes divides to form four sperm cells. How many chromosomes are in each sperm cell?
8n
Which cell has tail to help it move?
Sperm cells are zygotes (specialised cells with only 23 chromosomes).
How does the chromosome number of a muscle cell compare to that of an egg cell from the same animal?
A sperm cell is the male sex cell. As such it only carries 1/2 of the number of chromosomes of a regular cell. This is because it fuses with the female sex cell to form a complete set of chromosomes. Essentially, where the number of chromosomes in the muscle cell is 2n, the sperm cell only has n chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in a cell that was formed from a sperm and egg cell?
Twenty-three chromosomes are in a cell that is formed from a sperm and egg cell.
What kind of cell is formed when chromosomes from a sperm call and an egg cell combine?
A diploid cell called a zygote is formed with a sperm and egg fuse.
Diploid cell formed when a sperm fertilize an egg?
chromosomes
What cell has the least chromosomes?
In humans, gametes (Ove and Sperm cells) have the least number of chromosomes
What kind of cells is formed when chromosomes form a sperm cell an egg cell combined?
a diploid
What are the two cells from which all humans are formed?
the egg cell and sperm cell
What does the joining of the chromosomes of a sperm with those of an oocyte initially form?
A single cell is formed
What is formed when an egg cell and sperm cell meet?
When egg and sperm cells meet, a complete set of chromosomes is contained and the combined cell becomes known as a zygote.
How many chromosomes would you expect to find in a sperm cell?
24.This is because in chimpanzees, as in humans, the gametes (eggs and sperms) are formed by the type of division called meiosis. During meiosis, the number of chromosomes is halved.
How many chromosomes pairs are in a sperm Cell?
A sperm cell contains 23 [unpaired] chromosomes.
How is the nucleus of the sperm cell different to the nucleus in the body cell?
a gamete nucleus has only half the number of chromosomes in it than a regular body cell. in humans a regular body cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) in the nucleus, but a gamete ie sperm or egg cell has only 23 chromosomes, which are all unpaired. during fertilization the 23 chromosomes from a sperm and the 23 from the egg cell combine and pair up.
How many produced chromosomes does a human body cell have?
Humans have 46 chromosomes. This means they will produce sex-cells (sperm and ovum/egg) which have 23 chromosomes.
