How does fertilization affect the chromosome number of a zygote?

Fertilization is the fusion of gametes to form the zygote. ... Fertilization allows restoring of the chromosome number of the species as the two nuclei of gametes fuse together. Therefore, the number of chromosomes in the zygote is twice the number of chromosomes in gametes.
