Does a zygote have only one haploid number of chromosomes?
pee that's right pee
How many times of cell division does the zygote need so as to become the eight-cell embryo?
3
What process takes meiosis this reduced set number and returns it to match the original set number of the parent cell?
Fertilization of the egg by the sperm. The resulting cell is a zygote, which contains the same number of chromosomes as a normal body cell for that species. For example, in humans, sperm cells have 1 set of 23 chromosomes, as do egg cells. So when they unite in fertilization, the zygote will have 2 sets of 23 chromosomes, for a total of 46.
Twins that come from the same egg and sperm?
Yes, during the process, I believe the Zygote -pretty much randomly- divides into two, which leads to genetically equivalent twins (whether or not they are identical is another story).
How are identical twins genetically from fraternal twins?
Identical twins are genetically the same, because they come from the same fertilized egg/sperm cell zygote, which happens to split into two viable zygotes. Fraternal twins, however, come from two different egg/sperm cell zygotes, that are concurrently fertilized and remain viable.
Is a zygote dibloid or haploid?
A zygote is diploid, it is formed by the union of a male sex cell (a sperm) and a female sex cell (an ovum) both of which are haploid.
How is a conifer zygote formed?
The pollen and megaspore which is the receiving haploid cell combine to form a diploid cell. That diploid cell grows into a zygote .
What type of division occurs to produce an embryo plant from the diploid zygote formed after ferilization?
Haploid
What is a cell that results from the process of fertilization called?
The diploid cell that results from fertilization is called a zygote. It is a product of the fusion of two haploid gametes, the sperm and the egg.
When does a zygote develop?
A zygote is developed during fertilization - a process that occurs when two haploid gametes (or sex cells) combine. In more general terms, the zygote is formed when the sperm meets the egg.
Is a zygote cell would you expect to be a haploid?
No - a zygote will be diploid. The sperm and egg are haploid - but they combine to create the zygote - which means it will have 2 sets of chromosomes.
When does the zygote period occur?
Fertilization Begins. Sperm reaches the egg.
Is a zygote a haploid cell or a diploid?
No, a zygote is a diploid because it has the full number of 46 (23pairs) of chromosomes. Two gametes one from the male one from the female meet to form a zygote. gametes = haploid everything else = diploid
What is gamete?
gamete is the male reproductive cell called sperm.A haploid reproductive cell that unites with another haploid reproductive cell to from a zygote.
Is a zygote diploid or haploid?
its a diploid.
What are Sex cells are called?
male=sperm Female=egg or ovum Zygote -- the cellular gruop formed after the joining of sperm and ovum
How many haploid are there in sperm cells?
24 haploid. Egg has 24 haploid too. So when they combine to turn into a zygote, the zygote has 48 diploid. I learned this at school. And it is in a textbook.
