No, a zygote is a diploid because it has the full number of 46 (23pairs) of chromosomes. Two gametes one from the male one from the female meet to form a zygote. gametes = haploid everything else = diploid
A zygote is diploid, it is formed by the union of a male sex cell (a sperm) and a female sex cell (an ovum) both of which are haploid.
The zygote is the only diploid cell in the life cycle of an organism that is formed by the fusion of two haploid gametes, typically an egg and a sperm. It contains a full set of chromosomes, half from each parent, and has the potential to develop into a multicellular organism through cell division and differentiation.
No - a zygote will be diploid. The sperm and egg are haploid - but they combine to create the zygote - which means it will have 2 sets of chromosomes.
A conifer zygote is formed through the process of double fertilization, where one sperm cell fertilizes the egg cell to form the zygote and the other sperm cell combines with polar nuclei to form endosperm. This process takes place within the female ovule of the conifer plant.
diploid is what the total number of chromosomes in an organism is
There are two types of cells in the body - haploid cells and diploid cells. The difference between haploid and diploid cells is related to the number of chromosomes that the cell contains.
the zygote
24 haploid. Egg has 24 haploid too. So when they combine to turn into a zygote, the zygote has 48 diploid. I learned this at school. And it is in a textbook.
True.
two haploid gametes fuse to produce a zygote which develops into a diploid sporophyte. <3, Katie:)
