3. Which of the following statements correctly describes both the sperm and the ovum?*

1 poin
Unlike somatic cells which contain autosomes, the sperm and the ovum are sex cells
which contain a single pair of either X or Y chromosomes.
The sperm and the ovum are gametes which contain the same number of autosomes
found in somatic cells, but each of them contains half the number of sex
chromosomes found in the somatic cells.
The sperm and the ovum are haploid cells containing 22 autosomes and one sex
chromosome responsible for sex determination; both cells are involved in sexual
reproduction
The sperm and the ovum are haploid cells containing 23 pairs of chromosomes,
which is half the number of chromosomes found in the somatic cells​
