Answer:
28 chromosomes
Explanation:
The elephant egg cells will have just half of the original number of chromosomes which is 28 chromosomes.
The other zygote which is the male sperm will also contain 28 chromosomes.
- Reproductive cells the egg and the sperm contains a haploid number of cells.
- During fertilization the cells combine to form a complete diploid where both the male and female genetic material are replicated.
- This way half of the original chromosome number are taken through to the sex cells.
