How do you know. Can you please explain?

Humans are diploid and have 46 chromosomes right? So, there are 23 single chromosomes in human gametes. And 1 set of chromosomes are found in each human gamete.

Okay. But how do you know whether it is unreplicated or replicated?

because you get 23 from sperm and 23 from the egg to make you. they are unreplicated because they randomly choose what chromosomes to use in each sperm.
