Hey mate
Here is your answers:
12.In external fertilization, eggs have less chances of fertilization. This can lead to the wastage of a large number of eggs produced during the process. Further, there is an absence of proper parental care to the offspring, which results in a low rate of survival in the progenies.
13.A zoospore is a motile asexual spore that utilizes the flagella for movement. A zygote is a non-motile diploid cell formed as a result of fertilization. It is formed as a result of sexual reproduction.
14.The main difference between gametogenesis and embryogenesis is that both meiosis and mitosis occur during gametogenesis whereas only mitosis occurs during embryogenesis. Furthermore, gametogenesis is responsible for the production of male and female gametes while embryogenesis is responsible for the formation and the development of the embryo.
15.After fertilization, the following changes are observed in a flower: There is formation of a diploid zygote and it develops into an embryo, which forms the future plant. The endosperm cells serve as a source of nutrition for the developing embryo. The ovule becomes the seed.
