What is the end result of fertilization in terms of chromosomes numbers?

It depends on the organism in question. Take humans for example. A somatic (body) cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). This is called the diploid number of chromosomes. A human gamete has only one copy of each chromosome and so only has 23 chromosomes. During fertilisation, the two haploid gametes fuse and produce a diploid zygote, so the cell produced as a product of fertilisation has the diploid number of chromosomes (double the haploid number).

Chromosomes of a pair of homologous chromosomes may differ from other chromosomes in terms of?
the genes they carry.
In terms of chromosomes which of these cells is different nerve cell skin cell sperm cell or bone cell?
Sperm cell, as it's haploid (23 chromosomes) as opposed to diploid (46 chromosomes).

Why is fertilization dependenton meiosis?
Meiosis makes each new cell genetically unique in terms of DNA. This ensures that the offspring of the organism is also genetically unique as the two gametes (sex cells) combine together to give the cell a full set of chromosomes that the cell needs to divide/multiply into a new life.
Why can't the terms gene and chromosome be used interchangeably?
Chromosomes are strands of DNA, sections of which constitute genes. In other words, genes are tiny, chromosomes are very large.
What is the result of two numbers being subtracted?
If you are asking what the result is called, there are two terms for it: difference, and remainder.
What is it meant by haploid and diploid number of chromosomes?
Haploid and diploid are terms which refer to the number of copies of a chromosome that are found in the genome of an organism. In humans, for example, there are two copies of each (of our 23) chromosomes. Thus, we are diploid. If there is only one copy of a chromosome, this is called haploid. Human sex cells as well as most plant sex cells (sperm/ pollen, ovum/ oval) are haploid. This is how you end up with a complement of chromosomes that is half your father's, half your mother's. Two haploid cells come together to form a diploid cell, and this cell eventually becomes a person. Diploid is a full set of chromosomes inherited from both parents. In humans this would be 46 chromosomes, or 23 pairs in, mostly, somatic cells. Haploid is half this number of chromosomes and is the result of meiosis, where as diploid is the result of normal cellular mitosis (as well as the result of fertilization). In genetic notation haploid is depicted with "n" and diploid "2n"
Chromosomes of a pair of homologous chromosomes may differ from other chromosomes in terms of?
the genes they carry.
What are two mathematical terms that have homonyms?
sum = the result when numbers are added together some = not all ad = an advertisement add = to combine
The terms for any permanent change in a gene or chromosomes cell?
mutation
Which pair of terms best describes the usual location for fertilization and the first stages of development?
The pair of terms that best describe this process are "fallopian tube" for the usual location for fertilization and "blastocyst" for the first stages of development.
In terms of chromosomes which of these cells is different nerve cell skin cell sperm cell or bone cell?
Sperm cell, as it's haploid (23 chromosomes) as opposed to diploid (46 chromosomes).
If a parent cell has 46 chromosomes how many chromosomes will the daughter cells have?
This is speaking in terms of MITOSIS.A typical human cell has 46 chromosomes. Each offspring cell receives anidentical copy of the original cell's chromosomes. So the two daughter cells will have 46 chromosomes each as well.
