In an egg, there are 23 chromosomes, 2 of them being autosomes (sex cells).
In an ovum, the number of chromosomes is haploid, meaning it contains half the number of chromosomes found in other cells of the body. This is because during the process of meiosis, the ovum undergoes division to reduce the number of chromosomes by half in preparation for fertilization.
The chromosome number 23 is found in human sex cells, such as eggs (in females) and sperm (in males). These cells are known as haploid cells, containing half the normal number of chromosomes found in somatic cells.
If the somatic (normal) cell has 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 38. If the gametes (sperm and ovum/egg) have 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 76.
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.
A meiosis parent cell, also known as a germ cell, has a total of 46 chromosomes before undergoing the process of meiosis. During meiosis, the parent cell will divide and produce gametes with half the number of chromosomes, which is 23.

The cells that have a haploid complement of chromosomes are the gametes - the ovum and the sperm.
In an ovum, the number of chromosomes is haploid, meaning it contains half the number of chromosomes found in other cells of the body. This is because during the process of meiosis, the ovum undergoes division to reduce the number of chromosomes by half in preparation for fertilization.
A human egg, or ovum, contains 23 chromosomes. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a typical human somatic cell, which has 46 chromosomes. The reduction to 23 chromosomes occurs through a process called meiosis, ensuring that when the egg combines with a sperm cell, the resulting fertilized egg has the full complement of 46 chromosomes.
An ovum typically contains 23 chromosomes in humans. This is half the total number of chromosomes found in most human cells, as the egg needs to combine with a sperm cell during fertilization to create a full set of 46 chromosomes in the resulting zygote.
The chromosome number 23 is found in human sex cells, such as eggs (in females) and sperm (in males). These cells are known as haploid cells, containing half the normal number of chromosomes found in somatic cells.

21 somatic chromosomes + 2 sex chromosomes (XX in an ovum or XY in a sperm).
A human egg cell, also known as an ovum, contains 23 chromosomes. It is a haploid cell, meaning it has half the number of chromosomes compared to other human cells.
The ovum and spermatids are formed via meiosis (which occurs only in sex cells). From meiosis, four daughter cells are produced (in the female, three of these become polar bodies, rather than ova), each with 23 chromosomes (in humans) or the haploid number (n) in other organisms. This is significant as when fertilization occurs, the zygote (sperm + ovum) will have 46 chromosomes (or 23 pairs), the normal number for a human. So, both the ovum and spermatid are haploid sex cells (gametes), each with 23 chromosomes in humans.
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.
