The island of Manhattan was purchased for wampum. Wampum was used as the main form of Native American Money because it had value as a decorative item, and many Native Americans pierced holes at the top of their wampum and wore them in a belt rather than carrying wampum in a bag.
The human male gamete, also known as a sperm cell, contains 23 chromosomes in total. Humans have 22 chromosome pairs as well as two sex chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. The gamete produced by each sex contains half, or 23, of these chromosomes.
Gametes, on the other han â¦ d, are haploid (n), with a single set of chromosomes, ie. half as many as the somatic cell. Now, the haploid chromosome number (n) is characteristic of the species, and in humans this number happens to be 23.Therefore a human gamete has 23 chromosomes, and a human somatic cell 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes.hat depends on the organism you're looking at. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes per normal somatic cell. 46 chromosomes = 22 homolog pairs + 2 sex chromosomes (XX in w â¦ omen or XY in men).
