if it is a human chromosome it will have 32 chromosomes
The answer is 40
Only Zygotes of certain species have 46 chromosomes.
It has half of whatever the organism's regular cells have.
Diploids and Haploids. Haploids have one set of chromosomes (Gametes). Diploids have two sets of chromosomes (Zygotes).
chromosomes
The answer is 40
Onion (Allium cepa) has 16 chromosomes (2n= 16)
A zygote is produced by the merger of two gametes, which are an ovum and a sperm. The gametes are produced by the two parent organisms. That's where the chromosomes come from. This process is known as heredity.
Since the gametes contain one half the number, the zygote will have to have the full number of 40.
Zygotes are diploid, meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes (one set from each parent). This is because a zygote is formed by the fusion of a haploid egg cell and a haploid sperm cell during fertilization.
The zygote would have 24 chromosomes, as it inherits half of its chromosomes from each parent. So, if each parent's gamete has 12 chromosomes, the zygote would receive 12 chromosomes from the egg and 12 chromosomes from the sperm, resulting in a total of 24 chromosomes.
After fertilization, zygotes are diploid.
