Question

The common marmoset is a small primate. A typical egg cell of a female marmoset contains 23 chromosomes. How many chromosomes does a typical sperm cell of a male marmoset contain?

Answer 1

The typical marmoset sperm cell must contain 23 chromosomes as well because when it mixes with the female chromosomes, it should add up to 46. Gametes cells always have half the amount of regular cells.
