The union of meiotically produced specialized sex cells from each parent produces?

Correct answer: C. Zygote

  • A. Fertilized egg
  • B. Porifera
  • C. Zygote
  • D. None of these

Explanation

In sexual reproduction, each parent produces specialized sex cells through meiosis.The male produces sperm (male gamete).The female produces egg (ovum) (female gamete).These sex cells are haploid (contain half the number of chromosomes).When these two haploid gametes fuse (unite) during fertilization, they form a diploid cell called a zygote.
