The sperm or the egg have 23 chromosomes. Humans have 46 chromosomes, so when these two combine they create a human zygote.
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.
A sperm cell contains 23 chromosomes, each made up of a single DNA molecule. Therefore, a sperm cell typically contains one copy of each chromosome, with a total of 23 DNA molecules.

Human gametes have 23 chromosomes. (In cases of abnormality there may be a different number of chromosomes in a gamete).
The normal 2N complement....46 chromosomes in a human.
Like all other cell types, chromosomes are found in nucleus only(head of the sperm). But the human sperm cell is haploid, so that its 23 chromosomes can join the 23 chromosomes of the female egg to form a diploid cell during fertilization.
A human sperm contains 23 chromosomes, half the number of chromosomes found in a normal human cell. During fertilization, the sperm combines with an egg cell, which also contains 23 chromosomes, to form a new cell with a total of 46 chromosomes.
The human egg or sperm cell is haploid and contains 23 chromosomes. After fertilization (egg and sperm fusion), the zygote will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
A sperm cell contains 23 [unpaired] chromosomes.
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.
The sperm cell contains 23 chromosomes.
A sperm cell contains 23 chromosomes, each made up of a single DNA molecule. Therefore, a sperm cell typically contains one copy of each chromosome, with a total of 23 DNA molecules.

The fertilized ovum, or zygote, contains 46 chromosomes. These come from the combination of 23 chromosomes from the egg cell and 23 chromosomes from the sperm cell.
Human gametes have 23 chromosomes. (In cases of abnormality there may be a different number of chromosomes in a gamete).
A human sperm cell typically contains 23 chromosomes, which is half of the total number of chromosomes found in most human cells (46 chromosomes). During fertilization, the sperm cell's 23 chromosomes combine with the 23 chromosomes from the egg cell to create a new individual with a complete set of 46 chromosomes.
Each human egg actually contains 23 chromosomes, not 46. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, it brings another 23 chromosomes, resulting in the total of 46 chromosomes in a fertilized egg, which then develops into a human being.
