A sperm cell contains either an X or Y sex chromosome, determining the biological sex of the offspring when combined with an egg. This ensures that the resulting embryo will have the proper number of sex chromosomes (XX for female or XY for male) to develop into a healthy individual.

gametes; they are haploid cells (i.e. they only have one set of chromosome); when gametes (egg) and (sperm) merge, then you have a zygote (i.e. they have two sets of chromosome- one from the egg and one from the sperm).
Gametes (sperm and eggs) contain only one sex chromosome.
The usual for a single sperm is none or one. Occasionally a defect will allow two.
Gametes (sperm and eggs) contain only one sex chromosome.
An egg can only carry an X chromosome. In normal cases, it only carries one. The sperm carries either one X or one Y chromosome.
In males, sperm contain only one sex chromosome. In females, eggs contain only one sex chromosome.
yes only one sperm can fertilize one egg.
In males, sperm contain only one sex chromosome. In females, eggs contain only one sex chromosome.

Human somatic (body) cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes. Human gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain one set of 23 chromomes -- 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Only a sperm cell can carry a y chromosome. A sperm cell can also carry an x chromosome. The ovum can carry only an x chromosome, never a y chromosome. So a cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome must be a sperm cell.
Increase Y chromosome sperm? Can't happen, ONE X and ONE Y chromosome in each
