23 chromosomes (22 autosomes + Y chromososm or X chromosomes)
The sperm cell determines the gender of a human baby. Ova only have X sex chromosomes, but sperm cells can have either an X or a Y sex chromosome. If an X sperm fertilizes an egg, the offspring will be XX and be female. If a Y sperm fertilizes an egg, the offspring will be XY and be male.
The human gametes are the sperm cell (male) and the egg cell (female). The chromosomes carried by the sperm cell can have two forms, the X cell (female offspring) or the Y cell (male offspring). These combine with the egg cell, which virtually always carries only an X chromosome. So an XX cell would develop as a female, and an XY cell would result in a male offspring.
A human egg cell has 23 chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes found in a regular human cell. During fertilization, when the egg merges with a sperm cell, the full complement of 46 chromosomes is restored.
The cell type that has 22 autosomes and an X sex chromosome is a gamete, such as an egg or sperm cell.
23 chromosomes (22 autosomes + Y chromososm or X chromosomes)
Frogs have 26 chromosomes in their somatic cells. A frog's sperm would be a haploid cell, meaning that the cell contains half the amount of chromosomes that it's somatic cells have. So a frog's sperm cell would contain 13 chromosomes.
Human haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells) each contain 23 chromosomes. When a sperm fertilizes an egg during conception, the resulting zygote will have the full complement of 46 chromosomes, with 23 from each parent.
A human ovum, or egg cell, contains 23 chromosomes. These chromosomes are half of the total number of chromosomes found in a human cell, as they combine with 23 chromosomes from a sperm cell during fertilization to form a complete set of 46 chromosomes in a fertilized egg.
Each gamete (or egg/sperm cell) has 23 chromosomes. So both egg & sperm cells have 23 chromosomes, however because gametes undergo meiosis the chromosomes are haploids so they don't look like X's. So they are not actually in pairs, as just eggs & sperm. They pair up once an egg is fertilized.

Meiosis and mitosis are types of cell division that involve the replication and division of chromosomes. Meiosis produces sex cells (eggs and sperm) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while mitosis produces identical cells with the same number of chromosomes. Sex cells have either X or Y chromosomes, determining the individual's sex.
Sperm cells are of two types. One type carries a Y chromosome, while the other type carries an X chromosome. This is the reason why the Spermatid is the 'deciding factor' in whether a baby will be male or female. The Ovum always carries an X chromosome.
A human skin cell has 46 chromosomes. A sperm has 23, and an egg has 23. When put together it completes the 46 needed to start making you :) x
