The usual number of chromosomes in a baby's cell ( zygote ) is 46 . 23 chromosomes from both the male's reproductive cell ( sperm ) and the female's reproductive cell ( egg ) .

∙ 13y agoA zygote is formed when the male gamete (sperm) fuses with the female gamete (ova).
Each gamete (regardless of the sex) is marked with an n; indicating it to be a haploid.
Therefore; sperm (n) + ova (n) = zygote (2n) [A zygote is a diploid; 2n]
n = 23 chromosomes
2n = 46 chromosomes (23 chromosome pair)

What happen to chromosomes as the zygote continues to divide?
as a zygote continue to divide the chromosomes keep producing
How many chromosomes would be in a zygote if the bird has 30 chromosomes?
A zygote is a fertilized egg cell, so it is diploid and thus has a full set of DNA. If the adult has 30 pairs of chromosomes, the zygote would have 30 pairs. If there are 30 chromosomes, then the zygote will have 60 (30 from the mother and 30 from the father). It comes down to whether you meant individual chromosomes or pairs of chromosomes.
How many chromosomes human zygote possess?
46 23 from each parent...unless there is a mutation. Hi sorry to but in, but i was just wondering. If a human zygote contains 46 chromosomes and then total chromosomes they have is 46. Then if a mouse has 40 chromosomes would it's zygote be 40 as well? I have Biology homework and i was just wondering. Thanks!
If there is 10 chromosomes how many zygote?
A zygote is the combination of the half DNA data from both "parents" and if each have a total of 10 then the Zygote receives 5 from each parent and ends up with the same as its parents' number of chromosomes.
What happens to the zygote that is monosomic?
one set of chromosomes
Where are the chromosomes in the zygote?
chromosomes are present in the nucleus of zygote.
Does a zygote have double or triple the number of chromosomes that a gamete has?
A zygote has twice the amount of chromosomes as a gamete.
What happen to chromosomes as the zygote continues to divide?
as a zygote continue to divide the chromosomes keep producing

How many chromosomes does a zygote have and a gamate have?
Zygote=2 Gamate=1
Does gamete have more chromosomes then a zygote?
No, a zygote has 46, a gamete has 23
What is the number of chromosomes in the zygote if the parent's reproductive cells or gametes contain 12 chromosomes each?
It will be 24 in the zygote since zygote is diploid cell and gametes are haploid.

How many chromosomes does s fruit flies zygote have?
8 chromosomes
When gametes combine to form a zygote the chromosomes number of the zygote is now referred to as?
diploid is what the total number of chromosomes in an organism is
What if a zygote did not have 46 chromosomes?
Only Zygotes of certain species have 46 chromosomes.
A human egg cell has 23 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will a human zygote have?
46
