It depends when intercourse happens. Sperm can last up to 4 days in the slime of the cervix. An egg stays for about 12 hours after vulation. Then is dissolves.

How many autosomes are ther in a gamete?

Normal body cells contain pairs of chromosomes. For example, in humans there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. Of these, 22 pairs (=44 chromosomes) are autosomes and one pair is the sex chromosomes. When gametes are made the number of chromosomes is halved. This is so that when two gametes fuse during fertilisation, the normal chromosome number is restored. So in humans, gametes contain 23 singlechromosomes. Of the 23 single chromosomes in a gamete, 22will be autosomes and one will be a sex chromosome. So, if your question is about humans, the answer is: 22. See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/biology/cellprocesses/celldivisionrev3.shtml
