Answer:


We know that Gametes have a haploid number of chromosomes that are present for both the gametes. Given that male gamete has 24 chromosomes, so the female gamete also has 24 gametes. By fusion of gametes to form a zygote, the zygote reestablishes 48 number of chromosomes.

Hence,

Number of chromosomes in a female gamete of tobacco plant-24

Number chromosomes in zygote-48
