Does the male or female gamete contribute more chromosomes to the fertilized egg?
They each give the same amount. This is why we have pairs of chromosomes.
Why is n n2n a good representation of fertilization?
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.
Houseflies have six pairs of chromosomes if two houseflies are crossed how many possible types of fertilized eggs could result from the random lining up of the pairs?
4096
How many chromosomes in the nuclei?
The nucleus of a cell has same number of chromosomes as found in the species. For example, it is said that human has 23 pairs of chromosomes. These 23 pairs of chromosomes will be found in each cell ( in the nucleus) Aqsa Azam Vet. Student
Do chromosomes come in pairs?
The do come in pairs.

How many chromosomes pairs do humans have in fertilized eggs?
23, Humans in any form have 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 total chromosomes. What may be confusing you is that half of each pair or 23 chromosomes, is provided by each parent.23
Parent cell has four chromosomes arranged in what pairs?
in 2 pairs
How many chromosomes did the parent germ cell have?
23 pairs
What types of chromosomes does each parent pass on to a child?
Each parent gives a baby 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes to the offspring

How many chromosomes would be in a zygote if the bird has 30 chromosomes?
A zygote is a fertilized egg cell, so it is diploid and thus has a full set of DNA. If the adult has 30 pairs of chromosomes, the zygote would have 30 pairs. If there are 30 chromosomes, then the zygote will have 60 (30 from the mother and 30 from the father). It comes down to whether you meant individual chromosomes or pairs of chromosomes.
How many chromosomes does each offspring have?
4 because the parent cell has four chromosomes arranged in 2 pairs. Each offspring has 4 chromosomes, one pair from each parent.
How many chromosomes do human bodies have?
a human possesses 23 pairs of chromosomes.
What is the chromosome number in a parent cell of a chimpanzee?
24 pairs so 48 chromosomes
