Answer:
Yes of course the zygote is the fusion of the male and female gamete who have 23 pairs of chromosomes individually.
But while sexual reproduction only half of the chromosomes of male and female gamete is passed to the offspring.
Thus the male and female gametes are haploid. and the offspring is diploid consisting of 23 chromosomes from mother and 23 chromosomes from father.
Mind it that it consists of 23 chromosomes from each parent and NOT 23 PAIRS of chromosomes.
