Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Human sperm (and eggs) are in the haploid state, meaning that only have one copy of each chromosome, or 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome (either X or Y).
Detailed explanation-2: -A diploid cell has two complete sets of chromosomes. Most cells in humans are diploid, comprising 23 chromosome pairs, so 46 chromosomes in total. This is 22 pairs of autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes. One copy of each chromosome pair came from the individual’s mother and the other from the individual’s father.
