How many sex chromosomes are contained in the egg, in the sperm?

Answer: 1 sex chromosome.

Female and male germ cells are composed of a haploid set of chromosomes. Using the example of the human body, which has a set of 46 chromosomes (44 autosomes and 2 sex-forming ones), we can say that an egg cell consists of 22 autosomes and an X chromosome. Sperm – 22 autosomes and X or Y chromosomes.
