Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
A) A zygote is an unfertilized egg
B) A zygote is made up of one cell
C) A zygote is the fusion of two gametes
D) A zygote is where gametes are formed
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Organisms that reproduce asexually do so via the production of gametes via meiotic division. These gametes are haploid cells produced by both male and female organisms. Male produces sperm (n), while female produces eggs (n).
In a process called FERTILIZATION, these two gametes fuse together to form a diploid cell called ZYGOTE (2n). Hence, a zygote is a fertilized egg, by a sperm. The statement that best describes a zygote is that it is the fusion of two gametes.
