How many chromosomes would be in a fertilised egg if there were 194 from each body cell and 100 in each egg cell?

In a typical scenario, a fertilized egg receives half its chromosomes from the egg cell and half from the sperm cell. If there are 194 chromosomes in each body cell, the sperm would also have 97 chromosomes (half of 194). Therefore, the fertilized egg would have 97 (from the sperm) + 100 (from the egg) = 197 chromosomes.


How many chromosomes do each human egg cell have?

A human egg/sperm cell has 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg fuse together,, the zygote (fertilised egg) contains 46 chromosomes. Scientists call this the diploid number, with the sperm/egg having a haploid number of chromosomes. This number varies between species.
