Want this question answered?
In humans there are 23 single chromosomes. In a zygote there are 23 pairs.
A zygote is a fertilized egg cell, so it is diploid and thus has a full set of DNA. If the adult has 30 pairs of chromosomes, the zygote would have 30 pairs. If there are 30 chromosomes, then the zygote will have 60 (30 from the mother and 30 from the father). It comes down to whether you meant individual chromosomes or pairs of chromosomes.
46 23 from each parent...unless there is a mutation. Hi sorry to but in, but i was just wondering. If a human zygote contains 46 chromosomes and then total chromosomes they have is 46. Then if a mouse has 40 chromosomes would it's zygote be 40 as well? I have Biology homework and i was just wondering. Thanks!
The zygote has a total of 46 chromosomes following fertilization, which is the diploid number of chromosomes for humans. This is because each parent contributes 23 chromosomes, combining to form a total of 46 chromosomes in the zygote.
In chickens, gametes (sperm or egg cells) have 39 chromosomes each. During fertilization, when a sperm and egg combine, the resulting zygote will have the normal chromosome count of 78.

Zygote=2 Gamate=1
8 chromosomes

46 I think
there are 23 sets
46

A zygote is formed by the fusion of two gametes, typically one egg and one sperm. The number of zygotes formed is not directly related to the number of chromosomes in each gamete, but rather to the number of unique combinations from the genetic material of the two gametes involved in the fertilization process.
A sheep egg cell, or oocyte, typically contains 27 chromosomes. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic cell of a sheep.

A zygote should have 46 chromosomes: 23 from the egg and 23 from the sperm. This will ensure that after fertilization, the baby's body cells will each have a normal set of 46 chromosomes.
