well since I'm a major in Biology and i have directed many things, i have found out that there will only be 21 after fertilization. See, chromosomes will start separating and a few will go to the fertilization process. that is how there is less than they usually have.
genetic variation occurs when chromosomes are shuffled in_and fertilization
Yes it does :)
Fertilization
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).
After fertilization all normal human cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the cells of an adult human - 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. Before fertilization the ovum contains only 23 chromosomes. A second 23 chromosomes are provided by the sperm during fertilization.
23
2. 46 chromosomes.

80 chormosomes
Fertilization allows babies to have genes from both parents. Fertilization is when they get their chromosomes for the traits they will have.

Fertilization
in a normal human cell there are 46 chromosomes but sex cells only have half these (23) because when the female sex cell and the male sex cell come together and fertilise they add up to 46 (making a human cell which will multiply into a baby human) In your questions state you are only using 8 so a normal cell would have double that (16) to make a baby of that species of animal or plant ect.
