The zygote is a diploid complete cell that carries genetic information from an egg and sperm cells that merge through the fertilization process. A zygote containing a complete set of genetic information.
What is fertilization?
Fertilization is the gamete fusion, which involves the haploid sex cells from different parents.
Germ cells are diploid cells whose function is to produce gametes for sexual reproduction.
They can suffer mitosis and meiosis,
- Through mitosis, germ cells produce more germ cells.
- Through meiosis they produce gametes -sperm and egg cells-. This process is known as gametogenesis -Spermatogenesis and ovogenesis-.
Gametes' destiny is to merge during fecundation, and a new diploid cell called zygote emerges through fertilization.
The zygote is a complete diploid cell and suffers successive mitosis to form the new organism.
The diagram represents an egg (the one with the red nuclei) and a sperm cell (the one with the blue nuclei) that fuse and result in a new diploid cell, the zygote.
This new cell is complete because it carries the male and the female genetic sets.
The selected answer A zygote containing a complete set of genetic information is correct.
