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 does a human sperm or egg cell contain?

The human egg or sperm cell is haploid and contains 23 chromosomes. After fertilization (egg and sperm fusion), the zygote will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).


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.


In the whitefish how many chromosomes are there in a single set?

There are 40 chromosomes in a sperm cell of a white fish because the original number of chromosomes in a body cell is 80. Since the sex cells ( sperm and egg) each must contribute a set of chromosomes to the offspring, the sperm and egg both must have 40 chromosomes so they when the sperm and egg join or combine in a process known as fertilization, the offspring will have 80 chromosomes.


How many chromosomes are in a cell that was formed from a sperm and egg cell?

Twenty-three chromosomes are in a cell that is formed from a sperm and egg cell.

How many chromosomes are in a sperm cell and in an egg cell?

Each gamete (or egg/sperm cell) has 23 chromosomes. So both egg & sperm cells have 23 chromosomes, however because gametes undergo meiosis the chromosomes are haploids so they don't look like X's. So they are not actually in pairs, as just eggs & sperm. They pair up once an egg is fertilized.

How many chromosomes do each human egg cell have?

A human egg/sperm cell has 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg fuse together,, the zygote (fertilised egg) contains 46 chromosomes. Scientists call this the diploid number, with the sperm/egg having a haploid number of chromosomes. This number varies between species.

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.
