i think 26

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 does an animal sperm have?

n/2 where n is the total number of chromosomes normally present in that animal.For example humans have 46 chromosomes in a somatic cell, and 23 chromosomes in a germ cell (sperm / egg).Different species often have different numbers of chromosomes. In fact different numbers of chromosomes are why a donkey and a horse can mate to produce a mule, but the mule cannot reproduce.


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.

Does a sperm cell have the same chromosomes as a cheek cell?

No, a sperm cell and a cheek cell do not have the same chromosomes. A sperm cell is a haploid cell containing 23 chromosomes, while a cheek cell is a somatic cell with 46 chromosomes, which is diploid.
