The usual number of chromosomes in a baby's cell ( zygote ) is 46 . 23 chromosomes from both the male's reproductive cell ( sperm ) and the female's reproductive cell ( egg ) .

How many chromosomes would be in a zygote if the bird has 30 chromosomes?

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.


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 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.


Which cell contributes genetically to the zygote?

Both the egg (oocyte) and the sperm contribute genetically to the zygote. The egg carries half of the genetic material (23 chromosomes) and the sperm also carries the other half (23 chromosomes), resulting in a total of 46 chromosomes in the zygote.


How many chromosomes in human diploid zygote?

A normal human diploid zygote contains a full set of 46 chromosomes. A zygote refers to the initial cell that is formed when two gamete cells join together through sexual reproduction.

Where are the chromosomes in the zygote?

chromosomes are present in the nucleus of zygote.


Does a zygote have double or triple the number of chromosomes that a gamete has?

A zygote has twice the amount of chromosomes as a gamete.


What is the number of chromosomes in the zygote if the parent's reproductive cells or gametes contain 12 chromosomes each?

The zygote would have 24 chromosomes, as it inherits half of its chromosomes from each parent. So, if each parent's gamete has 12 chromosomes, the zygote would receive 12 chromosomes from the egg and 12 chromosomes from the sperm, resulting in a total of 24 chromosomes.

How many chromosomes does s fruit flies zygote have?

8 chromosomes


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.


What if a zygote did not have 46 chromosomes?

Only Zygotes of certain species have 46 chromosomes.


How does the number of chromosomes in a zygote compare with the number of chromosomes in a body cell?

A zygote typically has a full set of chromosomes, with one set from each parent, so it has a diploid number of chromosomes. In contrast, body cells are also diploid, containing the same number of chromosomes as the zygote.


When gametes combine to form a zygote the chromosomes number of the zygote is now referred to as?

diploid is what the total number of chromosomes in an organism is
