Each gamete contains half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell. In humans, gametes have 23 chromosomes each: 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome.
Sperm cells, or gametes normally have 23 chromosomes each.
The process of allele segregation during gamete formation is determined by the random assortment of chromosomes during meiosis. Homologous pairs of chromosomes separate independently, and each resulting gamete randomly receives one copy of each chromosome. This random assortment leads to the random segregation of alleles, determining which allele of each pair goes into a gamete.
This occurs due to nondisjunction, in which one or more homologous pairs of chromosomes do not separate during anaphase I, or sister chromatids do not separate properly during anaphase II of meiosis. The resulting daughter cells (gametes) will have either 22 or 24 chromosomes. If the gamete with 22 chromosomes unites with a normal gamete with 23 chromosomes, the offspring will have 45 chromosomes (23 + 22). If the gamete with 24 chromosomes unites with a normal gamete, the offspring will have 47 chromosomes (23 + 24). These are usually lethal conditions.
some people dont know how many chromosomes are in corn plants. corn plants have 20 chromosomes humans have 46 and fruit flies have 4 pairs double the four pairs and then ur fruit flie has the total of 8 chromosomes
Each gamete receives half of the number of chromosomes present in a somatic cell after meiosis, which results in haploid cells. In humans, this means each gamete receives 23 chromosomes.
Each gamete has only 23 chromosomes
Each gamete contains half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell. In humans, gametes have 23 chromosomes each: 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome.
Each gamete contributes an equal number of chromosomes to the fertilized egg. The male gamete (sperm) typically contains 23 chromosomes, and the female gamete (egg) also contains 23 chromosomes. Together, they combine to form the full set of 46 chromosomes in a normal human cell.
A Drosophila gamete has 4 chromosomes. Drosophila, also known as fruit flies, have a diploid number of 8 chromosomes in their somatic cells, which means each gamete will have half of that number.
Sperm cells, or gametes normally have 23 chromosomes each.
Unfertilized chicken eggs have 39 chromosomes. This consists of one copy of each chromosome, as the egg has not been fertilized by a sperm which would contribute an additional set of chromosomes.
There are 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome.There are 22 autosomes that are present in each human gamete.
meiosis :)
You get the other 23 from the opposite sex. The semen and the egg combines and gets 46 chromosomes. If each gamete contained 46 chromosomes, the zygote would contain 92 chromosomes.

24 since a haploid is half of the diploid containing 48 chromosomes
