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.
Therefore there is a total of 23 pairs of chromosome in a human body cell. However the human gametes formed by meiosis have haploid number of chromosomes i.e. they have only 23 chromosomes instead of 46; so that after fertilization the zygote has 23 pairs of chromosome(23 from the sperm and 23 from the ovum).here are 46 total chromosomes in a normal human body cell. They pair up, creating 23 pairs of chromosomes. Mutations can occur during cell division, causing human cells to have a varied amount of chromosomes-more or less. There are many genetic diseases caused by chromosomal mutations.
