Does a zygote have only one haploid number of chromosomes?

How many times of cell division does the zygote need so as to become the eight-cell embryo?
3
What process takes meiosis this reduced set number and returns it to match the original set number of the parent cell?
Fertilization of the egg by the sperm. The resulting cell is a zygote, which contains the same number of chromosomes as a normal body cell for that species. For example, in humans, sperm cells have 1 set of 23 chromosomes, as do egg cells. So when they unite in fertilization, the zygote will have 2 sets of 23 chromosomes, for a total of 46.
Twins that come from the same egg and sperm?
Yes, during the process, I believe the Zygote -pretty much randomly- divides into two, which leads to genetically equivalent twins (whether or not they are identical is another story).
How are identical twins genetically from fraternal twins?
Identical twins are genetically the same, because they come from the same fertilized egg/sperm cell zygote, which happens to split into two viable zygotes. Fraternal twins, however, come from two different egg/sperm cell zygotes, that are concurrently fertilized and remain viable.
Is a zygote dibloid or haploid?
A zygote is diploid, it is formed by the union of a male sex cell (a sperm) and a female sex cell (an ovum) both of which are haploid.
What is the difference between a haploid, diploid, and zygote?
A haploid cell has half the usual number of chromosomes, a diploid cell has the full set, and a zygote is formed when two haploid cells combine to create a diploid cell.
What is a cell that results from the process of fertilization called?
The cell resulting from the process of fertilization is called a zygote. It is the initial cell formed when the egg and sperm merge during fertilization.
Zygote fungi produce reproductive cells in cases called?
Zygote fungi produce reproductive cells in structures called zygospores. Zygospores are thick-walled structures containing the zygote formed by the fusion of two haploid nuclei. They serve as a means of survival and dispersal for the zygote fungi.
Is a zygote a haploid cell or a diploid?
No, a zygote is a diploid because it has the full number of 46 (23pairs) of chromosomes. Two gametes one from the male one from the female meet to form a zygote. gametes = haploid everything else = diploid
What type of division occurs to produce an embryo plant from the diploid zygote formed after ferilization?
Haploid
Is a zygote haploid or diploid?
A zygote is diploid.
Is a diploid organism formed in the fertilization or meiosis during sexual reproduction?
A diploid organism is formed during fertilization when a haploid sperm cell fertilizes a haploid egg cell to create a zygote with a complete set of chromosomes. Meiosis is the process that produces haploid gametes (sperm and eggs) in preparation for fertilization.
What are Haploid sex cell formed in the female reproductive organs?
Haploid sex cells formed in the female reproductive organs are called ova (or eggs). Ova are produced through a process called oogenesis in the ovaries. They are released during ovulation and can be fertilized by a sperm cell to form a zygote.
When does a zygote develop?
A zygote is developed during fertilization - a process that occurs when two haploid gametes (or sex cells) combine. In more general terms, the zygote is formed when the sperm meets the egg.
Does a zygote have a haploid number of chromosomes?
A zygote is a fertilized egg, so half of the number came from the sperm (a haploid number or n) and half came from the egg (also a haploid number or n) so the zygote has a diploid chromosome number (2n).
Is a zygote cell would you expect to be a haploid?
No - a zygote will be diploid. The sperm and egg are haploid - but they combine to create the zygote - which means it will have 2 sets of chromosomes.
