after meiosis occurs the chromosomes then half so they become 23 for the egg and 23 for the sperm so then the zygote will the have 46 chromosomes

OpenStudy (zaynab123):

i hope that makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i understand, so the answer would be a

OpenStudy (zaynab123):

huh

OpenStudy (zaynab123):

:D

lol sorry, i forgot i didnt post the answers Meiosis produces haploid gametes, so the chromosome number shown for the egg cell and sperm cell should be half the number of chromosomes as in the parents’ cells. The diploid number of a zygote is always 2n, so the number of chromosomes shown for the zygote should be 96. Meiosis produces diploid gametes, so the chromosome number shown for the zygote should be 23. so it would be A right?

OpenStudy (zaynab123):

yes
