Question

All cells resulting from a zygote will contain ______ chromosomes after _____ occurs.

A. 46, mitosis

D. 23, mitosis

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

A zygote will contain 46 chromosomes after fertilization occurs. The male gamete has 23 chromosomes and the female gamete has 23 chromosomes. When they fuse together during reproduction, they create a fertilized zygote with 46 chromosomes.

The male and female gametes are formed through the process of meiosis. This is when a cell undergoes a series of steps that will eventually divide the cell into 4 haploid unidentical cells which can be fertilized.
