well if human chromosomes number 21 does not separate during fertilization the baby will be with down syndrome. at fertilization of the egg with a normal sperm the zygote contain three chromosome number 21 (trizomic 21) hence the zygote contain 47 chromosome instead of 46.

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.
