They don't gain cells. If you are referring to Down syndrome it is because there is a mutation in the chromosomes of the DNA. Specifically, the chromosome # 21. The DNA is within the cell.
zygotes
gametes, zygotes
Sperm cells are zygotes (specialised cells with only 23 chromosomes).
You remain as a single cell for about 1/2 hour
Identical twins are genetically the same, because they come from the same fertilized egg/sperm cell zygote, which happens to split into two viable zygotes. Fraternal twins, however, come from two different egg/sperm cell zygotes, that are concurrently fertilized and remain viable.
Zero. The zygote is the first cell formed by the fertilization of an egg by a sperm cell. It doesn't divide during it's formation, but it does divide afterwards.

Generally, two. However, when forming zygotes, that is, reproductive cells for eggs or sperm, they split in to 4, each containing half of the genome.
No.
embryo
Yes they are, zygotes themselves are the product of fusion between two haploid gametes. These gametes fuse in order to develop into a multicellular structure, which they are unable to do unless they fuse. The product of their fusion is a zygote which is able to develop into a multicellular structure.
