diffrence between gamets and zygote
Answers
Explanation:
Gamete refers to a haploid sex cell that is a sperm in males and egg (oocyte) in females. Zygote is the diploid cell that results from the fertilization between an egg and a sperm. In mammals, the sperm (male gamete) fertilizes the egg (ovum, the female gamete) and the fertilized egg is called a zygote...
Answer:
Gamete Zygote
Ploidy Haploid; n Diploid; 2n
Definition Is a cell that fuses with another cell during fertilization (conception) in organisms that reproduce sexually. Females produced a large gamete called an egg cell while males produce a tadpole-like gamete called a sperm cell. Zygote is the diploid cell that results from the fertilization between an egg and a sperm.
Genetic material or Chromosomes Haploid - Carries half of the genetic material necessary to form a complete organism. In other words - contain only one set of dissimilar chromosomes Diploid – Carries the complete genetic material necessary to form a complete organism In other words - contain paired chromosomes
Etymology Came from the Greek word “gametes” meaning “husband” and “gamete” meaning “wife.” Came from the Greek word “zygotos” meaning “joined or yoked or to yoke.
Occurrence in plants In short plants, male gamete is a motile antherozoid, which needs water as a medium in which to move, the female gamete is contained in the archegonium. In taller plants the male gamete is contained in microspore, female gamate is in megaspore. The zygote is formed within a chamber called the archegonium.
Chromosome composition Has one copy of all autosomes and 1 sex chromosome, either an X or a Y. Have two copies of all autosomes. Sex chromosomes present can be either XX or XY.
