Alright well here is a hint di = two and if a fertilized egg has 46 chromosomes from two different cells how many does each have???

For a conception an egg cell and many sperm are needed. When the cells find each other, they fuse after a while and the chromosomes come together. Then the zygote (= fertilized egg) is formed and can begin to divide. Phenomenology gives us the characteristics of the ovum and sperm. There are no cells in humans that are so different and yet belong so much together.
