In comparing a single zygote with a single gamete of a particular species, the ratio of number of genes carried would be?
-
A zygote is considered a "2n", whereas a gamete is considered "n"
Therefore, there are double the amount of genes (chromosomes) in a zygote compared to a gamete. Two gametes "n+n" combine to create a zygote "2n"
