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 ) .
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
chromosomes are present in the nucleus of zygote.
A zygote has twice the amount of chromosomes as a gamete.
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.

No, a zygote has 46, a gamete has 23
Zygote=2 Gamate=1

8 chromosomes
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.
Only Zygotes of certain species have 46 chromosomes.
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.
diploid is what the total number of chromosomes in an organism is
