Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A zygote is the result of the fertilization process between a sperm and an egg, which are both gametes, not somatic cells. It contains the full complement of genetic material from both parents, not half. It is not part of a nucleotide but a cell. Zygotes undergo mitosis to develop into an embryo, not meiosis.
