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.
Gamete Cells are sex cells, which reproduce (They are haploid). Whatever is found in a somatic cell would be half in a gamete cell, so it would have 3 copies of genome in a gamete (while 6 copies in a somatic cell) 22. Your mom and your dad both give you 23 chromosomes (a whole copy of the genome).
