Only Zygotes of certain species have 46 chromosomes.
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!
No, a zygote has 46, a gamete has 23
46 I think
A normal human diploid zygote contains a full set of 46 chromosomes. A zygote refers to the initial cell that is formed when two gamete cells join together through sexual reproduction.
46
A zygote is formed from the union of two gametes. The number of chromosomes differs from different species, but in humans, there are 46 chromosomes. 23 from the male gamete and 23 from the female gamete.
a zygote ? not sure of that one
46
If gametes were diploid, that would mean the zygote would get 46 chromosomes (in humans that is) from his father and 46 chromosomes from his mother, that would add up to 92.
A zygote is a cell that is the result of the fusion of an egg and a sperm. It has a total of 46 chromosomes in a genetically normal human.
Yes; it is not a sex cell and it has 2n=46 chromosomes, whereas sex cells have n=23 chromosomes.
Sperm contains 23 chromosomes. An egg contains 23 chromosomes. The zygote (a fertilized egg) contains 46 chromosomes. Yet, it is also important to consider that the egg completes meiosis before joining with the sperm, thereby shedding half of its 46 chromosomes into a polar body that adjoins the zona pelucida lining.
