A gamete is a specialized cell that contains half of the DNA of the parent organism. Since the structure of gametes for different species can vary considerably normal would be any gamete that
contains the correct amount of DNA and is capable of fertilization.

If sperm is used as an example, normal would be those sperm that have the correct amount of DNA, are progressively motile and have a morphology(form/structure) that will allow them to fertilize the egg once it is reached.

Out of the following choices which gamete(s) will result in a zygote that will exhibit monosomy For this problem assume that the other gamete contains the normal haploid amount of chromosomes.?

To exhibit monosomy in a zygote, one gamete must contribute only one copy of a chromosome instead of the normal two. Therefore, if one gamete has a missing chromosome (e.g., due to a nondisjunction event leading to a gamete with 22 chromosomes instead of 23), it will result in a zygote that has only one copy of that chromosome when fused with a normal haploid gamete. In summary, the gamete with the missing chromosome (monosomic) is responsible for the resulting zygote exhibiting monosomy.

How many chromosomes are contained in a human male gamete cell?

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.

How many chromosomes are in each gamete?

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.
