Zygote=2
Gamate=1
The result of a male gamete fertilizing a female gamete is the formation of a zygote, which is the first cell of a new organism with a complete set of chromosomes. This process is called fertilization.
chromosomes are present in the nucleus of zygote.
8 chromosomes
A human gamete has 23 chromosomes. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a regular human cell, which has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
a sperm.
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 I think
there are 23 sets
46
A zygote has twice the amount of chromosomes as a gamete.
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!
It varies from organism to organism. Humans have 23 chromosomes in a haploid (gamate) cell.
