How sperm and eggs develop precisely 23 chromosomes each. April 12, 2012. There are many tools that cells could use to separate DNA strands that cross over during meiosis. UC Davis researchers have identified the right tools for the job. Researchers at the University of California, Davis have discovered a key tool that helps sperm and eggs develop exactly 23 chromosomes each.
Sperm and egg cells only carry one copy of the genome and are known as haploid. During fertilization the 2 cells merge their copies and make a diploid zygote. At the chromosomal level, humans have 23 chromosomes, so a diploid cell has 2 copies of each so a total of 46.
