True.
Sperm and egg cells are gametes, and thus are necessarily haploid. These haploid gametes were created through the process of meiosis. When the two fuse to create an embryo, the new embryo will then have 46 chromosomes, the full number for a human. The embryo will receive one copy of each chromosome from each parent. If sperm and egg cells were to have the full set of 46 chromosomes, with both copies of each chromosome from each parent, then when they fused the embryo would have 92 chromosomes total. And the progeny of that embryo would have an even higher number of chromosomes. Having haploid gametes is necessary to maintain the stability of the species.

How many chromosomes in normal human eggs and sperm is the same as in the body cells?
There are 23 chromosomes in human egg/sperm. In other human body cells there are 46 chromosomes.
Has how many chromosomes withn the egg cells?
All human gametes (sex cells), which means egg cells and sperm cells, have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilises the egg, the 23 chromosomes from the egg cell and the 23 chromosomes from the sperm cell join to make cells with 46 chromosomes. In summary, all cells in the human body have 46 chromosomes, except sperm cells and egg cells, which have 23.
How many chromosomes does a human inherit from each parent?
Human Cells have 42 chromosomes Human Sex cells such as womans eggs and male sperm contains 21
What are Sperm only human cells to have?
Sperm are the only human cells to have a flagellum. This is their "tail". They are also one of only two cells to have haploid number of chromosomes. The ova in females is also haploid.
How many chromosomes do human egg cells and sperm cells have?
There are 23 chromosomes in a human sperm or egg (ovum).Of these, 22 are autosomes, and there is one sex chromosome: either an X or a Y. So 23 is the human haploid number.
How many chromosomes in normal human eggs and sperm is the same as in the body cells?
There are 23 chromosomes in human egg/sperm. In other human body cells there are 46 chromosomes.
Number of chromosomes in eggs and sperm cells?
I assume you mean human egg and sperm cells. There is a haploid number of chromosomes in these cells. 23 chromosomes. n.
Has how many chromosomes withn the egg cells?

When the sperm fertilises the egg, the 23 chromosomes from the egg cell and the 23 chromosomes from the sperm cell join to make cells with 46 chromosomes. In summary, all cells in the human body have 46 chromosomes, except sperm cells and egg cells, which have 23.
How many chromosomes are in a sperm Cell?
32
How many chromosomes does a liver cell have?
All human cells , with the exception of sperm and egg cells, have the same number of chromosomes (46). Sperm and Egg cells have half that number.
How many chromosomes are in 50 sperm cells?
I assume you mean human sperm cells.Haploid and n = 23 chromosomes, so......23 * 50= 1150 chromosomes===============
How many chromosomes are seen in the human sperm cell but not in a human blood cell?
The human sperm cell has 23 chromosomes. White blood cells have 46 chromosomes. Mature red blood cells to not contain a nucleus, and therefore has no chromosomes. Platelets are cell fragments and also do not contain nuclei.
How many sex chromosomes does a sperm carry?
Each parent donates 23 chromosomes to fertilization process however only the male can determin the sex.
How many chromosomes are in sperm cells?
It varies from each animal, to a human. For example a human sperm has 23 chromosomes, while another animal, plant, fruit, or vergtable has different numbers.
If the number of chromosomes in the skin cells of an organism is 28 what is the number of chromosomes in the organisms egg cells?
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes that most cells in the organism have. Most human cells have 46 chromosomes, but eggs and sperm have 23 chromosomes each.
Why is it important to have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells?
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.
How many chromosomes does a human inherit from each parent?
Human Cells have 42 chromosomes Human Sex cells such as womans eggs and male sperm contains 21
