It depends on what's missing. Zygotes missing a chromosome (monosomy) have 45 chromosomes and many do survive; some human monosomies are monosomy 7, 11 or 13. A monosomy X results in Turner syndrome; there must be at least one X chromosome, or the embryo won't survive.

How does fertilization restores the diploid number of chromosome in an orgaism with a haploid chromosome of 8 how many chromosomes are present in the spermatogonium?

Fertilization restores the diploid number by combining one haploid gamete from the mother with one haploid gamete from the father to form a zygote with the full diploid set of chromosomes. In an organism with a haploid chromosome number of 8, each spermatogonium would have 16 chromosomes because they are diploid cells that undergo mitosis to produce sperm cells with the haploid number.

What Has the same number of chromosome sets as a germ cell?

A haploid germ cell has the same number of chromosome sets as a gamete, which is half the number of chromosome sets found in a somatic cell. This enables the gametes to fuse during fertilization to restore the diploid number of chromosomes in the zygote.

How does the chromosome content of a parent cell compare with that of a gamete?

A parent cell is diploid, meaning it has two sets of chromosomes. In contrast, a gamete is haploid, containing only one set of chromosomes. This difference in chromosome content is important for maintaining the correct number of chromosomes in the offspring when the gametes combine during fertilization.


A chicken has 78 chromosomes how many are present in each gamete?

In chickens, gametes (sperm or egg cells) have 39 chromosomes each. During fertilization, when a sperm and egg combine, the resulting zygote will have the normal chromosome count of 78.


Why do gamete contain less chromosome than parent cells?

The gamete is supposed to join with another gamete, and combine their chromosomes into a single cell.
