A sperm cell from the same species would also contain 50 chromosomes. When an egg and sperm fuse during fertilization, the total number of chromosomes in the resulting zygote will be the sum of the chromosomes from the egg and sperm, which would be 100 in this case.
In sexually reproducing species, egg cells and sperm cells are both haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic (body) cells. Therefore, if an egg cell contains 50 chromosomes, a sperm cell from the same species would also contain 50 chromosomes. Together, when they fuse during fertilization, they would restore the diploid number of chromosomes in the resulting zygote.
A sperm cell contains 23 [unpaired] chromosomes.
Twenty-three chromosomes are in a cell that is formed from a sperm and egg cell.
If an egg cell contains 50 chromosomes, then a sperm cell from the same species would also contain 50 chromosomes, as both egg and sperm cells are haploid and contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid organism. Therefore, when they combine during fertilization, they restore the diploid number, which would be 100 chromosomes in this case.
n/2 where n is the total number of chromosomes normally present in that animal.For example humans have 46 chromosomes in a somatic cell, and 23 chromosomes in a germ cell (sperm / egg).Different species often have different numbers of chromosomes. In fact different numbers of chromosomes are why a donkey and a horse can mate to produce a mule, but the mule cannot reproduce.
