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 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.
How many chromosomes does a human sperm or egg cell contain?
The human egg or sperm cell is haploid and contains 23 chromosomes. After fertilization (egg and sperm fusion), the zygote will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
How many chromosomes does the egg cell of a fruit fly have?
A zygote is formed from the union of two gametes. The number of chromosomes differs from different species, but in humans, there are 46 chromosomes. 23 from the male gamete and 23 from the female gamete.
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.
Why is it important for egg cells to only have 18 chromosomes?
Only in that way do you get a human zygote - each chromosome MUST be paired and there must be 46 total to get a true human. (Note that in reality there are occasional mismatches - either too many or too few - and the result is always a defective child.)
A human egg cell has 23 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will a human zygote have?
46
What is a zygote and how many chromsomes does it have?
A zygote is a cell that is the result of the fusion of an egg and a sperm. It has a total of 46 chromosomes in a genetically normal human.
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.
How many chromosomes does a human sperm or egg cell contain?
The human egg or sperm cell is haploid and contains 23 chromosomes. After fertilization (egg and sperm fusion), the zygote will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
How many chromosomes are in a human zygote which has Down Syndrome?
Human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes, giving a total of 46 per cell.
How many chromosomes does a zygote have and a gamate have?
Zygote=2 Gamate=1
Why is it important to have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells?
The gametes must have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells because they unite to form a zygote, which is the first body cell of the new organism. For example, human body cells have 46 chromosomes and human gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the zygote will have 46 chromosomes, and is the first body cell of the new human.
How many chromosomes does s fruit flies zygote have?

How many chromosomes are there in uterus cells?
There are 23 in both a sperm and egg cell. These unite to form a zygote, which has 46 chromosomes.
How many Chromosomes does the zygote contain?
46 I think
