Question
In sexual reproductiona) a zygote is formed from the fusion of an egg and sperm.b) an embryo is formed from the fusion of egg and sperm.c) a zygote is formed from an egg from a male and an egg from a female.d) an offspring is formed that is identical to one of the parents
Solution
The correct answer is a) a zygote is formed from the fusion of an egg and sperm.
In sexual reproduction, the process begins with the fusion of an egg (from the female) and sperm (from the male) to form a zygote. This zygote then undergoes multiple rounds of cell division to eventually form an embryo. The embryo continues to develop and grow into a new individual.
Option b) is incorrect because an embryo is not formed directly from the fusion of an egg and sperm, but rather from the zygote that results from this fusion.
Option c) is incorrect because a zygote is not formed from an egg from a male and an egg from a female. In sexual reproduction, the zygote is formed from the fusion of an egg from the female and a sperm from the male.
Option d) is incorrect because in sexual reproduction, the offspring is not identical to one of the parents. Instead, the offspring is a unique combination of genes from both parents.
