Answer:

47 chromosomes

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of division that reduces the chromosome number of the daughter cells by half i.e. 2n - n. It occurs only in reproductive cells to produce sex cells or gametes. In humans, meiosis occurs to produce gametes (egg and sperm) that have 23 haploid chromosomes.

N.B: Somatic human cells have 46 chromosomes

According to this question, a meiotic error occurred during gamete formation, resulting in an egg that has 24 chromosomes. If that egg is fertilized by a normal sperm i.e. sperm with 23 chromosomes. A zygote that posseses (23 + 24) = 47 chromosomes will be produced.

What are the punnet squares really used for and do they work 
podryga [215]
Punnett squares are used to find out the possible genotypes of the next generation after a cross and thus find the phenotype too according to the predicted genotypes.

For example, parents with genotypes of Rr and rr cross together, we can use the punnett square to list out the possible genotypes of their children which are Rr and rr.

You can never predict the exact genotypes of the next child but you can find out the possibility if they carry a certain trait. All the genotypes of the child are in random but you at least know what phenotypes they'll have.
