It depends on what organism you are talking about. But it will be half parental(male) chromosomes and half maternal(female) chromosomes. i.e. in humans sperm carry 23 chromosomes and females carry 23 chromosomes. So the zygote has a total of 46 chromosomes the norm. for humans

The zygote will be having chromosomes set up in which 23 will be from male and 23 from female,so after making nucleus having 46 no.s of chromosomes it will be multiplied by cell division and offspring will be having this setup.Further the setup can be changed by telophase stage of meiosis cell division for the next offspring of this set up(future parent).
