After fertilization all normal human cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the cells of an adult human - 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.

Before fertilization the ovum contains only 23 chromosomes. A second 23 chromosomes are provided by the sperm during fertilization.

How many chromosomes doesn't a human egg have?

A human egg, or ovum, contains 23 chromosomes. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a typical human somatic cell, which has 46 chromosomes. The reduction to 23 chromosomes occurs through a process called meiosis, ensuring that when the egg combines with a sperm cell, the resulting fertilized egg has the full complement of 46 chromosomes.


How many chromosomes does the fertilized ovum contain?

The fertilized ovum, or zygote, contains 46 chromosomes. These come from the combination of 23 chromosomes from the egg cell and 23 chromosomes from the sperm cell.


Each human eggs has 46 chromosomes and the sperm has no chromosomes?

Each human egg actually contains 23 chromosomes, not 46. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, it brings another 23 chromosomes, resulting in the total of 46 chromosomes in a fertilized egg, which then develops into a human being.


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 from each egg and sperm?

There are 23 chromosomes from the egg and 23 chromosomes from the sperm making it 46 in total when they both fuse together.

Has how many chromosomes withn the egg cells?

All human gametes (sex cells), which means egg cells and sperm cells, have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilises the egg, the 23 chromosomes from the egg cell and the 23 chromosomes from the sperm cell join to make cells with 46 chromosomes. In summary, all cells in the human body have 46 chromosomes, except sperm cells and egg cells, which have 23.

Does the male or female gamete contribute more chromosomes to the fertilized egg?

Each gamete contributes an equal number of chromosomes to the fertilized egg. The male gamete (sperm) typically contains 23 chromosomes, and the female gamete (egg) also contains 23 chromosomes. Together, they combine to form the full set of 46 chromosomes in a normal human cell.
