A gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic (diploid) cell. Therefore a zebra gamete would have 25 chromosomes if 50 is the diploid number.
Its haploid number, which will be half the number of chromosomes found in somatic (non-sex) cells - the diploid number.
The diploid number of an organism is its full set of genetic information. A gamete only carries the haploid number because it only needs half the amount of information. This is because the gamete will join with a gamete from a different organism to produce a full set of genetic information, which is in the form of offspring. So the haploid number is always half of the diploid number. For your question, the chromosome number of each gamete will be its haploid number, 8.

Yes, that is correct. If an organism has 16 chromosomes in its egg cells, its diploid number would be 32. This means that in its somatic cells, which are diploid, it would have 32 chromosomes, with each chromosome having a pair.
You'd be a multicellular diploid adult (2n=46)
A gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic (diploid) cell. Therefore a zebra gamete would have 25 chromosomes if 50 is the diploid number.

Fertilization restores the diploid number by combining one haploid gamete from the mother with one haploid gamete from the father to form a zygote with the full diploid set of chromosomes. In an organism with a haploid chromosome number of 8, each spermatogonium would have 16 chromosomes because they are diploid cells that undergo mitosis to produce sperm cells with the haploid number.
Its haploid number, which will be half the number of chromosomes found in somatic (non-sex) cells - the diploid number.
The diploid chromosome number in humans is 46.

yes zygote do have diploid chromosome number
Diploid: adj. 1 Double or twofold. 2 Having a homologous pair of chromosomes for each characteristic except sex, the total number of chromosomes being twice that of a gamete.-n 1. a diploid cell. 2. An individual characterized by a diploid chromosome number.It has two copies of each chromosome.
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes as a body cell because they are haploid, while body cells are diploid. This reduction in chromosome number ensures that when a sperm and egg combine during fertilization, the resulting offspring will have the correct diploid chromosome number.
A gamete of Drosophila has 2n chromosomes, which is the haploid number. Drosophila, like most organisms, has a diploid number of chromosomes in its somatic cells. During meiosis, gametes are produced with half the number of chromosomes to maintain the chromosome number in the species.
The egg chromosome number of a guinea pig is 32, as guinea pigs have a diploid chromosome number of 64. This means that each gamete, including the egg, contains half of the total chromosome number. Thus, guinea pig eggs are haploid, containing 32 chromosomes.
