A zygote is a fertilized egg, so half of the number came from the sperm (a haploid number or n) and half came from the egg (also a haploid number or n) so the zygote has a diploid chromosome number (2n).

∙ 8y agoNo, a zygote has one set of chromosomes from each parent - and is therefore diploid.
Sex cells (gametes) are haploid before they combine to form a zygote.

How are the usual number of chromosomes restored during fertilization?
When the haploid sperm fertilizes the haploid egg, their chromosomes combine to form a new diploid nucleus in the first cell of the new offspring, which is called a zygote.
What are haploid chromosomes?
haploid chromosomes are a set of chromosomes from one parent , half the total of diploid chromosomes.
What is the difference between haploid diploid and zygote?
There are two types of cells in the body - haploid cells and diploid cells. The difference between haploid and diploid cells is related to the number of chromosomes that the cell contains.
Is twenty-three the haploid number of chromosomes in man?
The twenty-three chromosomes in humans is called a haploid number. It refers to the number of chromosomes in a gamete of an organism.
How does the number of chromosomes in a diploid compare to the number of chromosomes in a haploid?
The diploid number is "2n" and the haploid number is "n". Humans have 46 chromosomes, which are equal to the diploid number. half of these chromosomes are the haploid number, which is = 23.
When gametes combine to form a zygote the chromosomes number of the zygote is now referred to as?
diploid is what the total number of chromosomes in an organism is
Does a zygote have only one haploid number of chromosomes?
pee that's right pee
Is a zygote cell would you expect to be a haploid?
No - a zygote will be diploid. The sperm and egg are haploid - but they combine to create the zygote - which means it will have 2 sets of chromosomes.
What is the number of chromosomes in the zygote if the parent's reproductive cells or gametes contain 12 chromosomes each?
It will be 24 in the zygote since zygote is diploid cell and gametes are haploid.
How are the usual number of chromosomes restored during fertilization?
When the haploid sperm fertilizes the haploid egg, their chromosomes combine to form a new diploid nucleus in the first cell of the new offspring, which is called a zygote.
Is a zygote a haploid cell or a diploid?
No, a zygote is a diploid because it has the full number of 46 (23pairs) of chromosomes. Two gametes one from the male one from the female meet to form a zygote. gametes = haploid everything else = diploid
What are haploid chromosomes?
haploid chromosomes are a set of chromosomes from one parent , half the total of diploid chromosomes.
What is the difference between haploid diploid and zygote?
There are two types of cells in the body - haploid cells and diploid cells. The difference between haploid and diploid cells is related to the number of chromosomes that the cell contains.
How does fertilization restore the normal chromosomen number?
Each gamete, the sperm or the egg, is haploid and contains half the number of chromosomes of a normal cell. When the sperm and egg combine to form a zygote, the zygote becomes a diploid cell with the normal amount of chromosomes.
Is twenty-three the haploid number of chromosomes in man?
The twenty-three chromosomes in humans is called a haploid number. It refers to the number of chromosomes in a gamete of an organism.
What does the term haploid mean?
The haploid number (n) is the number of chromosomes in a gamete of an individual. This is distinct from the monoploid number (x), which is the number of unique chromosomes in a single complete set. Gametes (sperm, and ova) are haploid cells. The haploid gametes produced by (most) diploid organisms are monoploid, and these can combine to form a diploid zygote. For example, most animals are diploid and produce monoploid gametes.
Is secondary spermatocyte haploid or diploid why?
secondary oocytes are haploid cells carrying 23 chromosomes. After fertilization by sperm a Zygote is formed with a diploid number 46.
