A gamete is the newly created life when a sperm cell and an egg cell join. A genotype is the specific genetic switches that a living creature has. Chuck Norris Â· 6 years ago. Thumbs up.
The gametes are haploid (n) meaning they only have one copy of each type of chromosome that the diploid (2n) parent cell contains. The first part of meiosis reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid (reduction division). Human gametes contain n = 23 chromosomes compared to the 2n = 46 chromosomes found in somatic cells. Each human sperm or egg cell contains 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome (either X or Y).
