Absolutely (assuming you are referering to the maternal chromosomes of the man who is making the sperm) , the human set of chromosomes is composed of 46 pairs with half (23) coming from each parent. Mendel's laws suggest that each chromosome segregates and separates independently during mitosis (and subsequently meiosis) thus each gamete should contain a mixture of paternally and maternally derived chromosomes.

Does each egg and sperm cell contain a full set of 46 chromosomes?

No, each egg and sperm cell contain half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell, which is 23. When an egg and a sperm cell combine during fertilization, they create a new cell with the full set of 46 chromosomes.

The sperm cell contains 23 chromosomes.


During spermatogenesis a cell with 2n chromosomes divides to form four sperm cells. How many chromosomes are in each sperm cell?

Each sperm cell will contain n chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes in the original cell.


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.


In humans when a new cell is formed from a sperm cell an egg cell how many chromosomes does it have?

i think 26 i think 26 46 chromosomes. The sperm cell and egg cell each contain 23 chromosomes, totalling 46. The sperm cells and egg cells are known as haploid cells or sex cells (meaning having 1 set of chromosomes). Once the sperm cell and egg cell joins, a diploid cell is formed (meaning having 2 sets of chromosomes), and a zygote begins to form. The human body contains 2 sets of chromosomes, one maternal and one paternal.

How many chromosomes are in a mature sperm cell?

A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.

How many chromosomes does the fertilized ovum contain?

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.


What does a cells chromosomes contain?

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.
