A) meiosis produces a diploid zygote
B) meiosis produces haploid sperm and egg cells
C) fertilization produces a haploid zygote
D) a diploid zygote undergoes meiosis to produce an adult human

Question

This diagram of the human life cycle shows that ______. 
A) meiosis produces a diploid zygote 
B) meiosis produces haploid sperm and egg cells 
C) fertilization produces a haploid zygote 
D) a diploid zygote undergoes meiosis to produce an adult human

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The diagram shows that meiosis occurs during the formation of sperm and egg cells, which produces haploid cells that combine during fertilization to form a diploid zygote. This process is represented in the middle of the life cycle diagram, with arrows indicating the transition from haploid cells to diploid zygote. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
