Alright if this works the same way it does with humans (i'm almost totally sure it does but just in case) the answer is: the zygote has 56 chromosomes, 28 inherited from the mother and 28 from the father.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, The zygote has 56 chromosomes, 28 inherited from the mother and 28 from the father.

Explanation:

Elephant is a mammal just like human beings and the process of cell division is pretty much similar in both the types of species. In humans an offspring has 46 chromosome , 23 donated by mother and the rest 23 donated by father thereby producing a diploid cell. In the same way in an elephant,  of the total chromosome number in the offspring cell, equal contribution shall be from both the parents.

Alona [7]

A protein's shape directly affects how well it works. For instance, a protein works as a protective protein or a structural protein if its structure is fibrous, as is the case with proteins like collagen and keratin. The protein becomes denatured and ceases to serve its intended purpose if the structure of the amino acids is altered in any way.

<h3>What are amino acids?</h3>

Organic substances known as amino acids have both functional groups for amino and carboxylic acids. Alpha-amino acids, which make up proteins, are by far the most significant amino acids in nature, despite the fact that there are hundreds of other types. The genetic coding only contains 22 alpha amino acids. An organic compound is an amino acid. Carbon-hydrogen bonds are present in organic compounds. All amino acids share a similar fundamental structure. Each molecule has a core carbon atom that is joined to a hydrogen atom, a basic amino group, a carboxylic acid group, and an R-group, also known as a side-chain group.
