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.

If there are 8 chromosomes in a gamete (haploid sex cell) then after fertilization there should be 16 chromosomes after fertilization (given that both gamete cells are normal).
Both gametes (either egg or sperm) from each parent should contain half the total number of chromosomes for that species. In this case, 8 from the mother and 8 from the father. The chromosomes match up in pairs.

How many chromosomes will thee be after fertilization?
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.

There are 22 in each, along with an X sex chromosome for the female form and a Y sex chromosome for the male form.
In the whitefish how many chromosomes are there in a single set?
There are 40 chromosomes in a sperm cell of a white fish because the original number of chromosomes in a body cell is 80. Since the sex cells ( sperm and egg) each must contribute a set of chromosomes to the offspring, the sperm and egg both must have 40 chromosomes so they when the sperm and egg join or combine in a process known as fertilization, the offspring will have 80 chromosomes.
