Question

Explain what fertilization is​

Answer 1

Fertilization is the process of fusion of haploid male and female gametes to form a diploid organism.

Explanation:

Fertilization in animals

Fertilization is the process of fusion of haploid (half the number of the total chromosomes present in the organism) male and female gametes to form a diploid organism.

The parent individuals undergo meiotic division of the gametes and release them. Fertilization may either happen internally or externally depending on the development process of the organism or the mode of birth whether oviparous  (lays eggs which then mature and hatch into young individuals) or viviparous (embryo is developed internally and young ones are born).

Haploid spermatozoa fuses with a haploid oocyte to form a diploid zygote. Zygote undergoes rapid cell division and embryo is formed. When the embryo is provided with right developmental conditions and nutrition it grows to be a young offspring.

Fertilization in plants

Fertilization in plants happen by fusion of pollen grains (male gamete) with the ovule (female gamete). Pollination takes place to bring the male gametes in contact with the female gamete. Seeds are produced as an end result of fertilization. Seeds can grown as an individual plant when in right environmental conditions.

Answer 2

Fertilization is the process of haploid male and female gametes joining together to generate a diploid creature.

Animal fertilization

• Fertilization is the process of male and female gametes fusing to generate a diploid creature.
• The gametes are released when the parent people undergo meiotic division.
• Depending on the organism's development process or mode of birth. fertilization can occur either internally or externally (embryo is developed internally and young ones are born).
• To generate a diploid zygote, haploid spermatozoa unite with haploid oocytes.
• The zygote divides quickly, resulting in the formation of an embryo.
• When an embryo is given the proper growth and nourishment, it develops into a young kid.

Fertilization of plants is a process that involves the application of fertilizer to the

• In plants, pollen grains (male gametes) fusing with ovules results in fertilization (female gamete).
• Pollination is carried out to bring male and female gametes together.
• As a result of fertilization, seeds are formed.
• When the correct circumstances are present, seeds can develop into individual plants.
