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.
A human gamete has 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome. However, special cases may arise due to aneuploidy which can result in two copies of an autosome, e.g. chromosome â¦ 21, 18, etc. or the non-disjunction of sex chromosomes, X and/or Y. 3 people found this useful.
