Brief Explanations
Human beings have 46 chromosomes in each somatic cell. Gametes (sperm and egg) are haploid, with 23 chromosomes each. During fertilization, a sperm and an egg combine, with the sperm contributing 23 chromosomes and the egg contributing 23 chromosomes to form a zygote with 46 chromosomes.
