Answer:

Chromosome number in gametes- haploid (n)

Chromosome number in zygote- diploid (2n)

Explanation:

Sexually-reproducing organisms make use of gametes to reproduce. The gametes are produced via the process of meiosis, which is a cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) that have their chromosomal number reduced by half. A diploid (2n) organism i.e. possess two set of chromosomes undergoes meiosis to produce haploid (n) gametes i.e. contains one set of chromosomes. The male parent produces haploid sperm while the female parent produces haploid egg.

During reproduction, these haploid gametes (sperm and egg) combine in a process called FERTILIZATION to produce a diploid ZYGOTE. The diploid zygote then divides and grows into the full organism. Hence, since a zygote is formed by the fusion of two haploid gametes (sperm and egg), it contains a diploid chromosome number i.e. sperm (n) + egg (n) = zygote (2n)

Ozone differs from oxygen that we breathe because it has blank oxygen atoms in its chemical structure
Lynna [10]

Two molecules of oxygen atoms are present in the oxygen molecule and ozone molecule has three oxygen atoms.The oxidation potential of ozone is higher as compared to that of oxygen so it can whirl some oxidation processes much faster than that of oxygen. The densities of both the molecules are also different.
