Sperm contains 23 chromosomes.
An egg contains 23 chromosomes.
The zygote (a fertilized egg) contains 46 chromosomes.
Yet, it is also important to consider that the egg completes meiosis before joining with the sperm, thereby shedding half of its 46 chromosomes into a polar body that adjoins the zona pelucida lining.

How many chromosomes does a human sperm or egg cell contain?
The human egg or sperm cell is haploid and contains 23 chromosomes. After fertilization (egg and sperm fusion), the zygote will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
How many cells does a zygote have?
zygote is a cell that results from fertilization of male cell and a female cell
How many chromosomes would be in a zygote if the bird has 30 chromosomes?
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.
After fertilization, how much of the chromosomes of both the sperm cell and the egg cell does the zygote have?
The zygote would be diploid because the sex cell would have 46 chromosomes instead of 23 (2n instead of n) and the chromosomes would keep on multiplying in each generation. Ex: child would have 92 chromosomes and that child's child would have 184, etc-Anonymous Mamba
How many chromosomes does the egg cell of a fruit fly have?
A zygote is formed from the union of two gametes. The number of chromosomes differs from different species, but in humans, there are 46 chromosomes. 23 from the male gamete and 23 from the female gamete.

80 chormosomes
