Gametes carry half the number of normal chromosomes as a body cell. Since there are normally 46, this means there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete.
Sperm cells, or gametes normally have 23 chromosomes each.
In chickens, gametes (sperm or egg cells) have 39 chromosomes each. During fertilization, when a sperm and egg combine, the resulting zygote will have the normal chromosome count of 78.

A human gamete contains 23 single chromosomes. Gametes are haploid cells, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes compared to diploid somatic cells, which contain 46 chromosomes. Each gamete, whether sperm or egg, carries one set of chromosomes, which is crucial for sexual reproduction. When two gametes fuse during fertilization, they restore the diploid number of chromosomes in the resulting zygote.
Each gamete has only 23 chromosomes
Sperm cells, or gametes normally have 23 chromosomes each.
A Drosophila gamete has 4 chromosomes. Drosophila, also known as fruit flies, have a diploid number of 8 chromosomes in their somatic cells, which means each gamete will have half of that number.
In chickens, gametes (sperm or egg cells) have 39 chromosomes each. During fertilization, when a sperm and egg combine, the resulting zygote will have the normal chromosome count of 78.
23 chromosomes
Each gamete contributes an equal number of chromosomes to the fertilized egg. The male gamete (sperm) typically contains 23 chromosomes, and the female gamete (egg) also contains 23 chromosomes. Together, they combine to form the full set of 46 chromosomes in a normal human cell.
Human gametes have 23 chromosomes. (In cases of abnormality there may be a different number of chromosomes in a gamete).

In a gamete (sex) cell, there are 23 chromosomes. A gamete is a haploid, or n, whereas a somatic (normal) cell is a diploid, or 2n, and has 46 chromosomes.
It varies from organism to organism. Humans have 23 chromosomes in a haploid (gamate) cell.
