Detailed Solution for Test: Biology - 3 - Question 20

The correct answer is 23.
Key Points

  • The human egg, or ovum, is one of the largest cells in the human body. 
  • Karl Ernst von Baer discovered the mammalian ovum in 1827.
  • After ovulation, the egg lives for 12 to 24 hours and must be fertilized in that time.
  • An egg cell is a metabolically active cell, substances are absorbed and released.
  • Humans are diploid (2n) organisms having 46 or 23 pairs of chromosomes.
  • The gametes, sperm and ovum, are haploid (n) as they are formed by meiosis.
  • This means the gametes will have only one of each pair of chromosomes.
  • Therefore, chromosome number in the human ovum is 23.
