AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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 . The blastocyst then burrows into the uterine lining-a process called implantation.

Detailed explanation-2: -When sperm fertilizes (meets) an egg, this fertilized egg is called a zygote (ZYE-goat). The zygote goes through a process of becoming an embryo and developing into a fetus.

Detailed explanation-3: -zygote, fertilized egg cell that results from the union of a female gamete (egg, or ovum) with a male gamete (sperm). In the embryonic development of humans and other animals, the zygote stage is brief and is followed by cleavage, when the single cell becomes subdivided into smaller cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, a Zygote is diploid. Each chromosome is present in two homologous, or comparable, copies in almost all human body cells. Due to the presence of both of its parents’ genes, the zygote is diploid (carrying two sets of chromosomes).

Detailed explanation-5: -But if fertilization does occur, their fertilized egg becomes a zygote, a single cell with genes from both parents. The zygote travels through their fallopian tube to their uterus about three to five days after fertilization.
