9 chromosomes
Homologous pairs of chromosomes are not normally found in gametes, which are reproductive cells such as eggs and sperm. This is because gametes are haploid, meaning they only contain one set of chromosomes, while homologous pairs consist of two sets of matching chromosomes.
Male reproductive cells (sperm) contain 23 chromosomes, while female reproductive cells (eggs) also contain 23 chromosomes. When these two cells combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote will have a total of 46 chromosomes - 23 from each parent.
Sperm cells, or gametes normally have 23 chromosomes each.

In a human being, there would be 23 pairs of chromosomes, adding up to 46 chromosomes. In fact, all the body cells have this many chromosomes normally.
In the sex cells of a dogfish shark, there would typically be 12 chromosomes. This is because sex cells, such as sperm and eggs, are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. Since muscle cells in the dogfish shark contain 24 chromosomes, their sex cells would contain half that number.
Human somatic cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
Homologous pairs of chromosomes are not normally found in gametes, which are reproductive cells such as eggs and sperm. This is because gametes are haploid, meaning they only contain one set of chromosomes, while homologous pairs consist of two sets of matching chromosomes.
Yes, somatic cells contain sex chromosomes. In humans, somatic cells typically contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, including one pair of sex chromosomes (XX in females and XY in males).
Sex cells contain half the number of chromosomes that body cells contain.
Homologous chromosomes are present in diploid cells, which contain two sets of chromosomes (one inherited from each parent). In contrast, haploid cells contain only one set of chromosomes.
Male reproductive cells (sperm) contain 23 chromosomes, while female reproductive cells (eggs) also contain 23 chromosomes. When these two cells combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote will have a total of 46 chromosomes - 23 from each parent.
Haploid cells, as opposed to diploid cells. Haploid cells contain only 23 chromosomes, but normal diploid cells contain 46 chromosomes.
Sperm cells, or gametes normally have 23 chromosomes each.

genes
Diploid cells contain 2 complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. an example would be somatic cells. Haploid cells are cells that contain 1 set of unpaired chromosomes of half the number of chromosomes as a somatic cell.
