Human somatic (body) cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes. Human gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain one set of 23 chromomes -- 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Only a sperm cell can carry a y chromosome. A sperm cell can also carry an x chromosome. The ovum can carry only an x chromosome, never a y chromosome. So a cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome must be a sperm cell.

Human cell containing 22 autosomes and a Y chromosome?
This human cell would be a male cell because it contains one Y chromosome. The 22 autosomes are non-sex chromosomes that come in pairs (one from each parent), totaling 44 autosomes in total. The Y chromosome determines male sex traits and is inherited from the father.
How many autosomes are there in a human sex cell?
A human gamete has 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome. However, special cases may arise due to aneuploidy which can result in two copies of an autosome, e.g. chromosome 21, 18, etc. or the non-disjunction of sex chromosomes, X and/or Y.
How many chromosomes are in a human sperm Cell?
23 singles. Actually, for the astute, there are 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome.
What is the number of chromosomes found in a human ovum?
A human ovum, or egg cell, contains 23 chromosomes. These chromosomes are half of the total number of chromosomes found in a human cell, as they combine with 23 chromosomes from a sperm cell during fertilization to form a complete set of 46 chromosomes in a fertilized egg.
In what type of human cell is the chromosome number 23?
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.
Human cell containing 22 autosomes and a Y chromosome?
This human cell would be a male cell because it contains one Y chromosome. The 22 autosomes are non-sex chromosomes that come in pairs (one from each parent), totaling 44 autosomes in total. The Y chromosome determines male sex traits and is inherited from the father.
What is a human cell containing 22 autosomes and a Y chromosomes?
sperm
Human cell containing 44 autosomes and two X chromosomes?
A human cell containing 44autosomes and two x chromosomes A) a somatic cell of a male B) a zygote C) a somatic cell of a female D) a sperm cell E) an
Which cell type could have 22 autosomes and a y chromosome?
sperm cell
How many autosomes are there in a human sex cell?
A human gamete has 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome. However, special cases may arise due to aneuploidy which can result in two copies of an autosome, e.g. chromosome 21, 18, etc. or the non-disjunction of sex chromosomes, X and/or Y.
What cell type could have 22 chromosomes and a Y chromosome?
The cell type that has 22 autosomes and an X sex chromosome is a gamete, such as an egg or sperm cell.
How many chromosomes are in a human sperm Cell?
23 singles. Actually, for the astute, there are 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome.
What is the number of chromosomes found in a human ovum?
A human ovum, or egg cell, contains 23 chromosomes. These chromosomes are half of the total number of chromosomes found in a human cell, as they combine with 23 chromosomes from a sperm cell during fertilization to form a complete set of 46 chromosomes in a fertilized egg.
Does sperm contain x and y chromosome?
In humans the male sperm contains EITHER an X chromosome, or a Y chromosome since human gametes are haploid (n) in chromosome number.
In what type of human cell is the chromosome number 23?
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 an egg is fertilized by a sprem containing a y chromosome the fertilized egg?
If an egg is fertilized by a sperm containing a Y chromosome, the resulting fertilized egg will develop into a male organism. This is because the presence of the Y chromosome determines the development of male characteristics.
How many pairs of autosomes does the human male liver have?
Typically, 22 pairs or 44 chromosomes in humans. The number doesn't change between males and females whose only difference are the other 2 of the 46 total chromosomes, the aptly named sex chromosomes. So really the factor that decides how many autosomal chromosomes the organism has is what kind of organism it is (human? dog? cat? orangutan? moon jellyfish??)
