|
|
|
the gametes’ chromosomes will be replicated prior to cell division
|
|
|
two gametes will unite during fertilization to create a diploid cell
|
|
|
fertilization results with a haploid zygote
|
|
|
gametes are small and can hold only the haploid number of chromosomes
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis is where a diploid cell gives rise to haploid cells, and fertilization is where two haploid cells (gametes) fuse to form a diploid zygote.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fertilization is the process in which haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid cell called a zygote.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fertilization joins two haploid gametes into a diploid zygote, the first cell of a new organism. The zygote enters G1 of the first cell cycle, and the organism begins to grow and develop through mitosis and cell division.
Detailed explanation-4: -In sexual reproduction, two parents produce gametes that unite in the process of fertilization to form a single-celled zygote . Gametes are haploid cells with one copy of each of the 23 chromosomes, and the zygote is a diploid cell with two copies of each of the 23 chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-5: -When a sperm fertilizes an egg, the genetic material is combined in the resulting zygote cell. In other words, a single set of chromosomes in two separate haploid cells come together as two sets of chromosomes in a single diploid cell. That zygote cell ultimately undergoes development into a new person.
