Nope, 23 is the number you want.

What is the process when sperm joining the egg called?
FERTILIZATION
What is the total number of chromosome in a human diploid cell?
If the somatic (normal) cell has 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 38. If the gametes (sperm and ovum/egg) have 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 76.
A cell with two of each kind of chromosome?
A cellwith two of each kind of chromosomeis called a diploid cell and is said to contain a diploid, or 2n, number of chromosomes.
What is diploid eukaryotic?
A cell that has two copies of each chromosome, one from an egg and one from a sperm.
Why are egg and sperm cells haploid?
are little more than flagellated nuclei. Each consists of a head, which has an acrosome at its tip and contains a haploid set of chromosomes in a compact, inactive, state.
Do the egg and sperm have a diploid chromosome number?
Yes they do. In humans, sperm and egg cells will contain 23 chromosomes. When a sperm and egg fuse to form a zygote, the diploid number of chromosomes is restored (46 or 23 pairs).
How many chromosome in each sperm or egg has horse?
If the diploid (2N) number is 64 the haploid (1N) number is 32.
What are normal chromosome numbers of a sperm egg and zygote respectively?
monoploid, monoploid and diploid

How many chromosomes are present in a sperm cell before fertilization and in the zygote after fertilization?
There are 22 in each, along with an X sex chromosome for the female form and a Y sex chromosome for the male form.
What is diploid eukaryotic?
A cell that has two copies of each chromosome, one from an egg and one from a sperm.
Are sperm and egg monoploid or diploid?
Diploid I think
What process union of egg and sperm restores chromosome number?
Fertilization.

Why is it necessary to have a haploid cell at the end of meiosis?
In most plants and animals, each cell has two copies of each chromosome. Cells having 2 of each kind of chromosome are called diploid. For instance, human cells have 46 chromosomes (23 different kinds of chromosomes, and 2 copies of each kind). They are diploid. Now think about what happens when a sperm fertilizes an egg. If a sperm has 46 chromosomes, and an egg has 46 chromosomes, then you might think that the fertilized egg would have 92 chromosomes since it is formed by putting together the sperm and the egg. But this doesn't happen. Why not?Sperm cells and egg cells are produced by a process of cell division called meiosis that cuts the number of chromosomes in half (each sperm cell has 23 chromosomes and each egg cell has 23 chromosomes). Then when the sperm and egg combine during fertilization, they produce a cell that has the normal number of chromosomes again. (23 + 23 = 46). Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes by putting one of each kind instead of two of each kind in each sperm and in each egg. Cells that have only one copy of each kind of chromosome are called haploid. Sperm cells and egg cells are haploid. All other cells in the body have two of each kind of chromosome and are called diploid.
