2 a female and male:
If gametes were diploid, the zygote would contain double the number of chromosomes found in a typical diploid zygote. So, if a human diploid cell normally has 46 chromosomes, a diploid gamete would have 46 chromosomes as well, resulting in a zygote with 92 chromosomes.
If the gametes contain 25 chromosomes, the organism will have 50 chromosomes in its body cells. This is because during fertilization, the gametes (sperm and egg) fuse to form a zygote, which will contain a total of 50 chromosomes, with 25 from each parent.

Normal human gametes carry 23 chromosomes, which is half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic cell. During fertilization, a sperm cell with 23 chromosomes fuses with an egg cell, also with 23 chromosomes, to form a zygote with a total of 46 chromosomes.
If gametes were diploid, the zygote would contain double the number of chromosomes found in a typical diploid zygote. So, if a human diploid cell normally has 46 chromosomes, a diploid gamete would have 46 chromosomes as well, resulting in a zygote with 92 chromosomes.
Since the gametes contain one half the number, the zygote will have to have the full number of 40.

The answer is 40
When a zygote is diploid it obtains two sets of chromosomes. Gametes contain one set of chromosomes. Therefore, 6 chromosomes would amount to 3 sets of gametes.
When a zygote is diploid it obtains two sets of chromosomes. Gametes contain one set of chromosomes. Therefore, 6 chromosomes would amount to 3 sets of gametes.
A zygote is the combination of the half DNA data from both "parents" and if each have a total of 10 then the Zygote receives 5 from each parent and ends up with the same as its parents' number of chromosomes.
A chicken's gametes (sperm and egg) each contain 39 chromosomes, which is half of the chicken's total chromosomes (78). When fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote will have the full complement of 78 chromosomes.
Yes, there are half as many genes in gametes (sperm and egg cells) as there are in normal body cells. This is because gametes are produced through the process of meiosis, which results in the number of chromosomes being halved to ensure that when the egg and sperm combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote has the correct number of chromosomes.
The gametes must have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells because they unite to form a zygote, which is the first body cell of the new organism. For example, human body cells have 46 chromosomes and human gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the zygote will have 46 chromosomes, and is the first body cell of the new human.
Human gametes have 23 chromosomes each, half of the total number of chromosomes found in regular human cells (which is 46). During fertilization, when a sperm and an egg combine, the resulting zygote will have a total of 46 chromosomes.
If the gametes contain 25 chromosomes, the organism will have 50 chromosomes in its body cells. This is because during fertilization, the gametes (sperm and egg) fuse to form a zygote, which will contain a total of 50 chromosomes, with 25 from each parent.
