    Answer: 16 pairs

    Explanation:

    Since meiosis halves the chromosome number present in a sex cell, the sperm and egg evading meiosis will therefore retain their 8 pairs of chromosomes.

    Hence, on fusion of sperm and egg to form zygote, the 8 pairs in both becomes 16 pairs.

    Thus, the fused cell has 16 pairs of chromosomes
