Title: What exactly is inside a gamete? Post by: rld09009 on Sep 25, 2012 Hi, as you can obvisouly tell iam no biology buf haha, i wanted to ask: inside a gamete being either an egg or sperm is there 23 chromosomes in the gamete containing one chromosome for the pair of homologous chromosomes that it will later become at fertilisation.
Thanks for the help. Title: What exactly is inside a gamete? Post by: rks23456 on Sep 25, 2012 a gamete -either sperm or egg - has 23 chromosomes. They were separated from their homologous partners during meiosis The end result of meiosis = 4 haploid sex cells with 23 chromosomes each - half the chromosomes of a body cell. When the sperm cell with 23 chromosomes pairs up with an egg cell with 23 chromosomes you get a 46 chromosome zygote.
