Best Answer

n+n would be 'n' from number of chromosomes from each parent. Each parent only gives half of their chromosomes to their offspring.

2n would be the fertilized zygote, with both 'n's joined.

An example would be: humans with a normal genome have 46 (23 pairs) chromosomes. Each gamete would have only 23.

How does the alternation of meiosis and fertilization in the life cycles of sexually reproducing organisms maintain the normal chromosome count for each species?

Simple, Meiosis reduce the chromosome number in half while fertilization doubles the chromosome number. n=chromosome number Meiosis = 2n (primordial germ cells) ----> n (sperm cell/egg cell/polar bodies) Fertilization = sperm (n) + egg (n) ----> 2n (zygote)


Why are spermatids not considered functional gametes?

each spermatid has the correct chromosomal number for fertilization (n), but is nonmotile.


Are mold spores N or 2N?

the answer is N. Spores grow gametophytes that produce a haploid gamete through mitosis once fertilization occurs the product is a zygote that is 2n which will grow into a sporophyte that produces spores through meiosis.


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.


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 the difference between amphimixis and fertilization?

Why you can you do n-12 but not 12-n?

The subtraction is not commutative, it means that n - 12 is not the same as 12 - n, except when n is 12. For example, suppose that we have a statement such as n - 12 = 12 - n. Can we find a value for n which will satisfy our statement?n - 12 = 12 - n (add n and 12 to both sides)n + n - 12 + 12 = 12 + 12 - n + n2n = 24 (divide by 2 both sides)n = 12Check:n - 12 = 12 - n12 - 12 =? 12 - 120 = 0 TrueBut, for all other values of n, the statement is not true. Let's say that n = 20Does 20 satisfies the statement? Check:n - 12 = 12 - n20 - 12 =? 12 - 208 = -8 FalseHence, we cannot write n - 12 as 12 - n for n ≠12.
