The strange case of organisms that undergo meiosis to produce gametes that fuse to form a zygote internally without leaving the organism is a process called
A)syngamy.
B)zygotic meiosis.
C)gametic meiosis.
D)autogamy.
E)conjugation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described in the question is autogamy. Autogamy is a type of self-fertilization where gametes are produced by meiosis within the same organism, which then fuse to form a zygote without leaving the organism. This is in contrast to other types of fertilization, such as syngamy (fusion of gametes from different individuals) and conjugation (exchange of genetic material between individuals). Zygotic meiosis and gametic meiosis are terms used to describe the types of meiosis that occur in different organisms during sexual reproduction, and are not relevant to the process described in the question.
