For human, a gamete has 23 chromosomes.
Sex cell = 23chromosomes (n)
Body cell = 46 chromosomes (2n)
Gametes carry half the number of normal chromosomes as a body cell. Since there are normally 46, this means there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete.
Human gametes are haploid because they contain half the number of chromosomes as normal body cells. This allows for the fusion of two gametes during fertilization to create a diploid zygote with the correct number of chromosomes.
Any two normal gametes from a human female parent will each contain 23 chromosomes, including one X chromosome. This is because females have two X chromosomes in their somatic cells. The combination of gametes during fertilization will result in a zygote with the typical 46 chromosomes.
In an average somatic (body) cell, two. and in human gametes there is , one all chromosomes in human body is , 46 chromosomes. in normal female somatic cell is (44+XX) . in normal male somatic cell (44+XY) in normal female gametes (22+X) in normal male gametes (22+X) or (22+Y) .
The human sex cell or human gamete has half the number of cells that any other normal human cell would have. A normal human cell (the one from your skin, mouth, lung, liver, sex organs, etc.) has 23 pairs of chromosomes and as such are called diploid cells. The sex cells are haploid having only 23 number of chromosomes as they unite with another haploid cell to create a normal cell with complete set of 23 pairs of chromosomes. The 23rd chromosome on a male human gamete is either the X or the Y chromosome while on the female gamete it is always the X chromosome.
Gametes carry half the number of normal chromosomes as a body cell. Since there are normally 46, this means there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete.
Gametes carry half the number of normal chromosomes as a body cell. Since there are normally 46, this means there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete.
In human gametes, chromosomes are not paired. Instead, each gamete has one set of 23 chromosomes, and is said to be haploid.
Human gametes are haploid because they contain half the number of chromosomes as normal body cells. This allows for the fusion of two gametes during fertilization to create a diploid zygote with the correct number of chromosomes.

A normal human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes, totaling 46 chromosomes, which are diploid in somatic (body) cells. Therefore, the number of haploid chromosomes in a normal human is 23. This haploid number is found in gametes (sperm and egg cells), which are produced through meiosis.
Human gametes are haploid, meaning they have half the normal number of chromosomes. Since our full number is 46, sperm and eggs have 23.
The gametes must have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells because they unite to form a zygote, which is the first body cell of the new organism. For example, human body cells have 46 chromosomes and human gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the zygote will have 46 chromosomes, and is the first body cell of the new human.
Human gametes have 23 chromosomes each, half of the total number of chromosomes found in regular human cells (which is 46). During fertilization, when a sperm and an egg combine, the resulting zygote will have a total of 46 chromosomes.
It must join with the other gamete to form a diploid number of chromosomes. If it had a diploid number to begin with, the result would be twice the normal amount of chromosomes. A normal cell had "2n" number of chromosomes, and each gametes have "n". If they had "2n" to begin with, the resulting zygote would have "4n", which is clearly not normal in human genome.
