A non-gamete cell, or somatic cell, typically has two alleles for each gene, one inherited from each parent. This means that in diploid organisms, such as humans, somatic cells contain two sets of chromosomes, resulting in two alleles per gene. However, some organisms can have different ploidy levels, affecting the number of alleles present.

Human gametes have 23 chromosomes. (In cases of abnormality there may be a different number of chromosomes in a gamete).
Normal gametes should contain one allele from each gene.
Gametes should contain one allele for each gene locus. This means that gametes will have one allele for each of the genes on the chromosomes they are carrying. It is estimated that humans have about 20,000-30,000 genes - meaning each gamete would therefore have 20,000-30,000 alleles.
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.
Yes, an egg cell is a gamete. Gametes are the reproductive cells involved in sexual reproduction, and in humans and many other organisms, the egg cell (ovum) is the female gamete. It combines with the male gamete, sperm, during fertilization to form a zygote, which develops into a new organism.
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.
Heterozygous females produce two types of gametes with respect to a given gene. If we denote the alleles as A (dominant) and a (recessive), the gametes produced will be either A or a. This results from the segregation of alleles during meiosis, where each gamete receives one allele from the pair.
Depends what animal. In humans its 23.
If a fruit fly gamete contains 4 chromosomes, then a body cell of a fruit fly would typically contain 8 chromosomes. This is because the gamete only contains half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell, following the principle of haploid and diploid states of cells in sexual reproduction.
