Fertilisation results immediately in the formation of:
(a) a zygote (b) an embryo (c) a placenta (d) a foetus
Correct Answer: (a) a zygote
Explanation:
Fertilization of the male gametes and female gametes results in the formation of a zygote.
Fertilization is the process in which the nuclei of the egg and sperm unite together in the fallopian tube to form a single-celled zygote.
