Unfertilized chicken eggs carry half of the needed chromosomes in order for fertilization. Every 26 hours, chickens create an egg and each egg has around 19 chromosomes.
Body cells are diploid, which means they have two sets of chromosomes. Sex cells, both egg and sperm cells, are haploid, which means they have one set of chromosomes. So if the body cells have 56 chromosomes, the unfertilized egg would have 28 chromosomes.

A female bee (queen or worker) has sixteen pairs of chromosomes, 32 in all. A male bee (drone) comes from an unfertilized egg, so only has sixteen chromosomes.
An unfertilized egg would be 1N...so the organism that has a 2N number of 52 would have a 1N number of 26.
Female bees (the queen and all worker bees) have 16 pairs of chromosomes (32 chromosomes in all). Male bees (drones) hatch from an unfertilized egg, therefore they only have one set of 16 chromosomes.
The females (queen and workers) are diploid and have 16 chromosomes from the queen and 16 from the drone: 32 in all.The males (drones) develop from an unfertilized egg and are haploid with only 16 chromosomes from the queen.
In meiosis all the chromosomes are incorporated into sperm cells whereas production of an unfertilized egg results in the leftover chromosomes incorporated into polar bodies.
A fertilized chicken egg is considered diploid, while an unfertilized chicken egg is haploid. Chickens are diploid when you are considering chromosomes.
Grasshoppers have 24 chromosomes. Since the sex cells only contain half the amount of chromosomes, each of a female's unfertilized eggs would have 12 chromosomes. Fertilized eggs would contain the full 24.
The destruction of the unfertilized egg's nucleus is necessary to prevent the formation of two separate sets of chromosomes in the resulting embryo. This ensures that the offspring will have the correct number of chromosomes for proper development by combining the genetic material from the parent cell with the donor's cytoplasm.
If the Egg is unfertilized It Means that the particular animal that has the egg has not reproduced with the opposite sex meaning that there is no developing Embryo(un developed baby) inside. If the animal had had reproduced with ther opposite sex the opposite would have happened and slowly it would have developed into an adult.
