Question

what is zygote? and how is formed?

Answer 1

A zygote is the cell formed when two gametes fuse during fertilization . The DNA material from the two cells is combined in the resulting zygote . The cellular mechanisms present in the gametes also function in the zygote , but the newly fused DNA produces a different effect in the new cell . In single-celled organisms , the zygote becomes a fully functioning organism and can divide through Mitosis to produce offspring . The organism can also produce gametes to reproduce sexually with other cells .

Answer 2

Hi..
Zygote is formed after fusion of male and female gametes..
It is diploid and it further develops into embryo...
The gametes are haploid in nature and they fuse to form a 2n zygote which further develops into a child...
Cells of zygote reproduce by mitosis and grow into an embryo..


Hope this helps!
