There are 23 chromosomes from the egg and 23 chromosomes from the sperm making it 46 in total when they both fuse together.
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.
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).
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.
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.
Twenty-three chromosomes are in a cell that is formed from a sperm and egg cell.
There are 23 chromosomes in each the sperm and the egg. When they fuse, the resulting embryo will have 46 chromosomes.
23. There are 46 chromosomes in a human, half from the egg and half from the sperm.

all cells of body except egg and sperm have 23 pairs of chromosomes i.e. 46...but egg and sperm have 23 chromosomes
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
Twenty-three chromosomes are in a cell that is formed from a sperm and egg cell.
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.
