Answer:

23 chromosomes.

Explanation:

  • 46 chromosomes is known as the diploid number of chromosomes in the body cell.
  • Somatic cells or body cells contain diploid number of chromosomes.
  • Diploid means they have two sets of each chromosome.
  • However, the gamete cells (sperms and ovum) contain haploid number of chromosomes which is equivalent to 23 chromosomes.
  • A cell with haploid number of chromosome has only one set of chromosomes.
  • Therefore, during fertilization they fuse to form a fertilized zygote with 46 chromosomes (diploid number).
