When two gametes fuse, they form a zygote through a process called fertilization. This fusion combines the genetic material from the two gametes to create a new, unique organism with a full set of chromosomes. The zygote will then undergo cell division and development to eventually grow into a mature individual.
Cells with a full set of chromosomes are Diploids. Cells that contain unpaired chromosomes contain half the set of chromosomes and are called Haploids. Gametes are reproductive cells (sperm and eggs) that are haploids which are produced by the process meiosis.
Meiosis is the process by which the nuclei of certain somatic cells reduce the number of chromosomes by half, in order to produce gametes, or sex cells. The production of gametes is known as gametogenesis. Gametes must have only half the normal number of chromosomes (a condition known as haploid) so that when two gametes (an egg and a sperm) combine, the resulting zygote (fertilized egg) will have the full number of chromosomes-a condition called diploid.
1. gametes - zygote - fertilization - embryo 2. fertilization - zygote - gametes - embryo 3. zygote - gametes - fertilization - embryo 4. gametes - fertilization - zygote - embryo answer is 4. gametes-fertilization-zygote-embryo
Meiosis produces haploid gametes from diploid germ cells. This process reduces the chromosome number by half, ensuring that when gametes combine during fertilization, the resulting offspring will have the correct number of chromosomes.
sperm and ova (eggs)
meiosis occurs in the overies and the testies.....there is 2 stage of meiosis...meiosis 1 and meiosis
A haploid cell is a cell which contains one set of DNA. Most cells have 2 full sets of DNA. Gametes (found in sex cells: sperm and egg cells) are gametes. It is important that they have only one set of DNA because, when the egg is fertilised, the two gametes fuse together to make a zygote with the full 2 sets of DNA.
A gamete is haploid (1N) so 'Aa' & 'AA' are diploid and during cell division (mitosis) gametes are formed and then 2 gametes merge together to make a diploid (think of sperm and egg, each is haploid or 1N, when fertilization occurs the egg and sperm form 1 cell that is 2N or diploid). So the possible gametes for 'Aa' would be 'A' & 'a' while for 'AA' the only gametes possible are 'A' If the question is asking what the possible gametes are for 'AaBB' the haploid (gamete) can be 'AB' or 'aB'
2 male gametes
There are broadly 2 types of fertilisation - 1) Internal fertilisation - This mostly takes place in higher classes of animals like humans and mammals. In this the male transfers its gametes into the female body and the male gamete fuses with the female gamete inside the female body 2) External fertilisation - This is mostly seen in fishes. The male and the female both transfer their gametes into the external environment and the gametes fuse outside
The human gametes are Male gametes are sperm and female gametes are eggs. And the gametes chromosome numbers are 42.
1. The act or process of initiating biological reproduction by insemination or pollination.2. The union of male and female gametes to form a zygote.3. The act or process of applying a fertilizer.
Two gametes – one egg and one sperm – are needed to fuse during fertilization to form a zygote. The egg carries genetic material from the mother, while the sperm brings genetic material from the father.
