I'm guessing you mean germ cells (oocyte and sperm). Each one has 23 chromosomes (haploid), so when they fuse they make a full cell (46 chromosomes-diplod).

How many pair of chromosomes do normal human cells contain?

Gametic [haploid] Cells are chromosome number n - which involves 23 individual chromosomes. Somatic [or diploid] Cells are chromosome number 2n - which involves 23 pairs of chromosomes. Mitotic Cells are 4n.


How many chromosomes in normal human eggs and sperm is the same as in the body cells?

Both normal human eggs and sperm contain 23 chromosomes, which is half of the total number of chromosomes found in other body cells. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, their combined 46 chromosomes create a new organism with a complete set of 46 chromosomes.


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 are present in human sex cells?

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.


How many chromosomes are in a baby's umbilical cord cell?

There are 46 chromosomes in the umbilical cord.

What is the normal diploid for a human being?

The normal diploid number of chromosomes for humans is 46.


What is the number of chromosomes in the human sex cell?

Human gametes are haploid, meaning they have half the normal number of chromosomes. Since our full number is 46, sperm and eggs have 23.


How many chromosomes in a normal human leukocyte?

A normal human leukocyte, or white blood cell, typically contains 46 chromosomes. This is the same number of chromosomes found in most cells in the human body, with the exception of sex cells (sperm and eggs), which have 23 chromosomes.


The total set of chromosomes found in either egg or sperm?

The number of chromosomes found in either and egg of sperm is half the number of chromosomes found in a normal cell of the organism. For example, if you are thinking of a human sperm or egg cell is would be 23 chromosomes, since the normal human cell has 46.

Does the chromosome number changes throughout the human life cycle?

No, the number of chromosomes remains constant throughout the human life cycle. Human cells have 46 chromosomes, with 23 inherited from each parent. This number is maintained through cell division and reproduction.
