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.

After fertilization, how much of the chromosomes of both the sperm cell and the egg cell does the zygote have?

The zygote would be diploid because the sex cell would have 46 chromosomes instead of 23 (2n instead of n) and the chromosomes would keep on multiplying in each generation. Ex: child would have 92 chromosomes and that child's child would have 184, etc-Anonymous Mamba


How many chromosomes human zygote possess?

46 23 from each parent...unless there is a mutation. Hi sorry to but in, but i was just wondering. If a human zygote contains 46 chromosomes and then total chromosomes they have is 46. Then if a mouse has 40 chromosomes would it's zygote be 40 as well? I have Biology homework and i was just wondering. Thanks!


How many chromosomes are there in the zygote of a crayfish whose diploid number is 112?

The zygote of a crayfish with a diploid number of 112 chromosomes would contain 56 chromosomes. This is because the zygote receives one copy of each chromosome from each parent, resulting in half the number of chromosomes of the diploid number.


How many chromosomes does the zygote have Following fertilization?

Sperm contains 23 chromosomes. An egg contains 23 chromosomes. The zygote (a fertilized egg) contains 46 chromosomes. Yet, it is also important to consider that the egg completes meiosis before joining with the sperm, thereby shedding half of its 46 chromosomes into a polar body that adjoins the zona pelucida lining.


How many chromosomes are present in an egg just produced by the ovaries?

In humans there are 23 single chromosomes. In a zygote there are 23 pairs.

If gametes were diploid like somatic cells how many chromosomes would the zygote contain?

If gametes were diploid, the zygote would contain double the number of chromosomes found in a typical diploid zygote. So, if a human diploid cell normally has 46 chromosomes, a diploid gamete would have 46 chromosomes as well, resulting in a zygote with 92 chromosomes.
