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.
44. - - -. In humans, there are 23 chromosomes in one set. Of these, one is a sex chromosome, and the other 22 are autosomes. So there are 22 autosomes in a human gamete (spermatozoon or ovum). In the zygote and all the body cells subsequently formed from the zygote, there are two sets (the diploid condition) and therefore 44 autosomes (two genetically different versions of each of the 22).
