Answer:

Fertilization would result in a zygote with twice as many chromosomes as the parents.

Explanation:

Meiosis creates four haploid cells from a diploid parent cell. These haploid cells are the sex cells - sperm cells and egg cells.

Since these cells are haploid (containing 23 chromosomes, half the amount of chromosomes as the parent diploid cells), when they fuse during fertilization, they form a diploid zygote containing 46 chromosomes.

Answer:

B) Fertilization would result in a zygote with half as many chromosomes as the parents.
