After the pollen tube enters the gametophyte, the pollen tube nucleus disintegrates and the two sperm cells are released; one of the two sperm cells fertilises the egg cell (at the bottom of the gametophyte near the micropyle), forming a diploid (2n) zygote.
When a sperm cell (with 23 chromosomes from the father), fertilises an egg cell (with 23 chromosomes from the mother), the resulting fertilised egg has 46 chromosomes. Via cell division, it grows into a human, with 46 chromosomes in each of its body cells.
