In humans, gametes contain Group of answer choices 1 autosome and 22 sex chromosomes. 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. 45 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. 1 autosome and 45 sex chromosomes.

Gametes or sex cells possess half of the chromosomal charge of individuals of a species, and when a paternal gamete joins a maternal one, fertilization occurs and results in a cell with the complete chromosomal charge and the shared characteristics of both parents.

In the human being, with 46 chromosomes, of which 44 are autosomes and two are sex chromosomes:

Somatic cells have a complete chromosome charge and are called diploid (44 + 2).
Gametes, which are haploid, have half the chromosome charge, which is equivalent to 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome (22 + 1).

The reason that the gametes are haploid is that gametogenesis involves a reductive division, called meisois.

The other answer options are not correct as explained above.
