as a zygote continue to divide the chromosomes keep producing
how could a zygote end up with an extra chromosome Either the egg or the sperm doesn't divide equally.
The zygote results from the combination of gametes (sperm and egg) during fertilization. The zygote undergoes mitosis after this, so that it can divide and grow into an organism.
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.
When fertilization occurs, a structure called a zygote is formed. This is a single cell with a full set of chromosomes, resulting from the merging of the egg and sperm. The zygote will eventually divide and develop into a new organism.
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!
chromosomes are present in the nucleus of zygote.

A zygote has twice the amount of chromosomes as a gamete.
The zygote results from the combination of gametes (sperm and egg) during fertilization. The zygote undergoes mitosis after this, so that it can divide and grow into an organism.
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.
