How does fertilization affect the chromosome number of a zygote?
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.
What happens to the number of chromosomes when 2 grasshopper sex cells join in fertilization?
The number of chromosomes doubles in comparison to the sex cells.
How are the usual number of chromosomes restored during fertilization?
When the haploid sperm fertilizes the haploid egg, their chromosomes combine to form a new diploid nucleus in the first cell of the new offspring, which is called a zygote.
What is the chromosome number during fertilization?
The zygote's number of chromosomes is double that of the two sex cells
Can the number of chromosomes in a reproductive cell be greater than the number chromosomes in an organism's body cell?
No. The reproductive cells (eggs, sperm, ova and pollen) all contain half the number of chromosomes of an organisms body cell. This means that at fertilization the two reproductive cells (or gametes) combine to form a single cell with the appropriate number of chromosomes.If a gamete had more chromosomes than a normal cell then fertilization would lead to even more chromosomes and an offspring that would be seriously genetically compromised.
When during the human cycle is the diploid number of chromosomes restored?
Fertilization

The number of chromosomes doubles in comparison to the sex cells.
After gametogenesis takes place which process restores the diploid chromosome number of the species for the next generation?
In the S phase before mitosis, the chromosomes duplicate into sister chromatids before spearating during mitosis. The number of chromosomes remainds diploid because they double before they are halved.
What might happen if human chromosomes did not separate?
well if human chromosomes number 21 does not separate during fertilization the baby will be with down syndrome. at fertilization of the egg with a normal sperm the zygote contain three chromosome number 21 (trizomic 21) hence the zygote contain 47 chromosome instead of 46.
How are the usual number of chromosomes restored during fertilization?
When the haploid sperm fertilizes the haploid egg, their chromosomes combine to form a new diploid nucleus in the first cell of the new offspring, which is called a zygote.
Does meiosis increaase the number of chromosomes in a cell?
No, it halves it. This is because Meiosis is only used in the production of sex cells (gametes), and two gametes are needed for a zygote to be created, and each carries half the normal number of chromosomes. When they join together during fertilization their offspring will carry the normal number of chromosomes.
Describe what happens to the number of chromosomes when two grasshopper sex cells join to fertilization?
2n. Given that the sperm has (n) number of chromosomes, and the egg has (n) number of chromosomes, then the zygote will contain (2n) number of chromosomes. For example, a sperm cell of a human contains 23 chromosomes. The egg cell also contains 23 chromosomes. After they join, the resulting zygote will contain 46 chromosomes.
What is gamete for heredity?
if you are asking what one is, a gamete is a sex cell that has half the number the number of chromosomes from one parent. during fertilization, two gamete(one from each parent) combine. they are formed during meiosis.
What is the chromosome number during fertilization?
The zygote's number of chromosomes is double that of the two sex cells
Do gametes have two sets of chromosomes?
No. a normal cell is diploid(2n) number of chromosomes. a normal human cell has 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes which makes 46 chromosomes. during meiosis 1 the homologous chromosomes randomly segregate along the equator and seperature into 2 daughter cells. during meiosis 2, the sister chromatids of the chromosome split in both of the daughter cell creating 4 daughter cells containign haplod (n) number of chromosomes - in humans they will have 23 chromosomes. gamete need to have half the number of chromosomes to a normal cell as when it fuses with another gamete during fertilization, the orginial 46 chromosome - diploid number will be restored.
What is diploidy?
Diploid state of organisms is originated during process of fertilization of sexual reproduction. During fertilization, two haploid cells or gametes of different types are fused together to produce a diploid egg (zygote).
