Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After the egg cell is fertilized by a sperm cell the resulting zygote cell grows into the sporophyte.
A
TRUE
B
FALSE
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fertilization between the gametes forms a diploid zygote. The zygote will undergo many rounds of mitosis and give rise to a diploid multicellular plant called a sporophyte.

Detailed explanation-2: -Egg and sperm cells have just 23 chromosomes each. That’s half as many chromosomes as regular cells. Through the process of fertilization, egg and sperm join to make a cell with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), called a zygote.

Detailed explanation-3: -During fertilization, the sperm and egg unite in one of the fallopian tubes to form a zygote. Then the zygote travels down the fallopian tube, where it becomes a morula. Once it reaches the uterus, the morula becomes a blastocyst.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fertilization results in the formation of zygote. The male gamete cell (sperm) and female gamete cell (egg) fuse together to form a zygote. Zygote divides repeatedly to give rise to balls of cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -The mitosis of zygote results in the formation of an embryo. An embryo is a stage following the zygote stage. The process of formation of the zygote is known as fertilization. The process of formation of the embryo is known as embryogenesis.
