Human eggs usually have one X chromosome. The mother has only two X's and can't give the egg any other than a X. The male determines the sex of the zygote since he will give either a Y or X.

Has how many chromosomes withn the egg cells?

All human gametes (sex cells), which means egg cells and sperm cells, have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilises the egg, the 23 chromosomes from the egg cell and the 23 chromosomes from the sperm cell join to make cells with 46 chromosomes. In summary, all cells in the human body have 46 chromosomes, except sperm cells and egg cells, which have 23.


What sex chromosomes do human egg cells have?

Number of chromosomes in eggs and sperm cells?

I assume you mean human egg and sperm cells. There is a haploid number of chromosomes in these cells. 23 chromosomes. n.


How many chromosomes do human egg cells and sperm cells have?

There are 23 chromosomes in a human sperm or egg (ovum).Of these, 22 are autosomes, and there is one sex chromosome: either an X or a Y. So 23 is the human haploid number.


Compare the number of chromosomes in a human skin cell to the number of chromosomes in a human egg cell?

yes it has 23 cells.


What are diploid cells?

Diploid cells are cells which contain 2 sets of chromosomes, which will later be divided into two sets of 23 chromosomes for each daughter cell. The total will come up to be 46 chromosomes. The other type of cell is a haploid. A haploid is a sex cell which contains 23 chromosomes. Later when the sperm enters the egg, or the egg meets the sperm the two sets of DNA (One from the sperm, and the other from the egg) will pair up to make another cell with 46 chromosomes. Different animals have different amounts of chromosomes. I have bases this answer on human cells.


How many chromosomes does a liver cell have?

All human cells , with the exception of sperm and egg cells, have the same number of chromosomes (46). Sperm and Egg cells have half that number.


How many chromosomes in normal human eggs and sperm is the same as in the body cells?

Both normal human eggs and sperm contain 23 chromosomes, which is half of the total number of chromosomes found in other body cells. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, their combined 46 chromosomes create a new organism with a complete set of 46 chromosomes.


How many cells in a human egg cell?

A human egg cell, also known as an ovum, contains 23 chromosomes. It is a haploid cell, meaning it has half the number of chromosomes compared to other human cells.


How many chromosomes does a sperm or egg have?

Gametes Have 23 Single Chromosomes, this means at fertilisation the pairs join together to make 23 pairs of Chromosomes. This is because Gametes are unspecialised cells so don't need all the Chromosomes that specialised cells have.


In what type of human cell is the chromosome number 23?

The chromosome number 23 is found in human sex cells, such as eggs (in females) and sperm (in males). These cells are known as haploid cells, containing half the normal number of chromosomes found in somatic cells.


If the number of chromosomes in the skin cells of an organism is 28 what is the number of chromosomes in the organisms egg cells?

Gametes have half the number of chromosomes that most cells in the organism have. Most human cells have 46 chromosomes, but eggs and sperm have 23 chromosomes each.
