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 haploid cell life cycle.
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.
The pollen and megaspore which is the receiving haploid cell combine to form a diploid cell. That diploid cell grows into a zygote .
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:)
