The correct description about zygote is that it is a fertilized egg and has chromosomes from both parents.

Step-by-step explanation:

In sexual mode of reproduction, the fusion of male and female gamete leads to the development of structure which is called as zygote. As it is formed by the fertilization process, it is also known as fertilized egg or fertilized ovum. The zygote contains 46 pair of chromosome, in which 23 is obtained from male and 23 is from female.
