Snails have a diploid chromosome number of 22. After meiosis, the snail’s sperm or egg would have 11 chromosomes.

How many chromosomes would the zygote have after fertilization?

11
22
33
46

Answer 1

Answer:

22

Explanation:

its is because zygote is diploid in nature

Answer 2

22 chromosomes

Explanation:

A zygote is the first cell formed after the fusion of the male and female gamete in the organisms. The zygote develops into the embryo which later develops in the organism.

In the given question, the ploidy of the snail is diploid which by the process of meiosis forms the haploid gametes. The meiosis I process reduces the ploidy of the organisms as the homologous chromosomes separate during this phase.

The haploid gametes that are the haploid egg and the sperm when fuse form a diploid zygote. The zygote develops into the snail.

Thus, 22 chromosomes are correct.
