Answer 1

The Number of sets of chromosomes present in a zygote is 23.

• During fertilisation, male gametes combine with a female gamete to form a zygote in the fallopian tube.
• From the fallopian tube, it goes to embed in the three layers of the womb and keep dividing throughout the journey to form the embryo.
• Therefore, the zygote contains two sets of 23 chromosomes for the required 46 chromosomes in humans and the respective number in other animals as well.
