Human germ cells in the testes and ovaries begin with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). How many does each sperm or egg cell end up with? (sperm and eggs are generated by meiosis)

(will mark brainiest)

23 chromosomes each.

Explanation: meiosis is sometimes called ‘reduction division’. Both male (sperm) and female (egg) gametes are haploid, that is, with a single set of 23 chromosomes

both male and female gametes are produced by meiosis of the germ cells. therefore, both male and female gametes are haploid. one male and one female gamete unite during the fertilization to form the diploid zygote. in seed bearing plants, pollen grain is the male gametophyte, which produces sperm cells.
