unklerhaukus · Answer

they are haploid
ie they only have half the chromosomes (23 in humans)
other cells are diploid and have the full set ( 46 in humans)

kayne · Answer

As @.Sam. and @UnkleRhaukus  have rightly pointed sex cells, also known as gamates are haploid. They have only one set of 23 chromosomes. There are two types of sex cells - the sperm and the ovum. On the other hand, the other cells which are also known as somatic cells are diploid meaning that they have two homologous sets of 23 chromosomes which is equivalent to 46 chromosomes.
