A female gamete (sex cell, the egg) contains half the chromosomes that a human cell has - 46. The other half are taken from the male gamete (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 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!
A zygote is the combination of the half DNA data from both "parents" and if each have a total of 10 then the Zygote receives 5 from each parent and ends up with the same as its parents' number of chromosomes.

In humans there are 23 single chromosomes. In a zygote there are 23 pairs.

Zygote=2 Gamate=1
8 chromosomes
If gametes were diploid, that would mean the zygote would get 46 chromosomes (in humans that is) from his father and 46 chromosomes from his mother, that would add up to 92.
46 I think
there are 23 sets

A human receives 23 pairs of chromosomes, having a total of 46 in all. They receive half the total amount from their mother and half from there father.
it all depends on the zygote which has not been able to find out the total chromosome's in the zygote.
