Question

How many chromosomes are there in

gametes?
HALF the amount of normal cells
The same amount as all other cells
DOUBLE the amount of normal cells

Answer 1

HALF (23) the number of normal cells (46).

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Half the amount of normal cells. These are called haploid cells, or gametes. Gametes include sperm and egg. When the egg (23) gets fertilized by a sperm (23), you create your first diploid cell (46) called a zygote. This zygote then undergoes mitosis to become an embryo, and then eventually a baby child. That child continues to undergo mitosis until it has developed into an adult.
