Answer:
23 chromosomes
Explanation:
The total number of chromosomes found in each of the gametes in the body of humans is 23.
The human genome is diploid (2n) with 46 chromosomes. The sex cells divide by meiosis - a reductional division that results in the halving of the chromosome number - during the formation of gametes. Hence, the gametes are haploid (n) with half the number of chromosomes (23) of the vegetative cells of the body.
Therefore, the eggs in females and the sperms in males each contain haploid (n=23) number of chromosomes.
