What is the name for a fertilized cell that results from the uniting of two gametes?

  • Correct Answer: zygote
  • sperm
  • chromosomes
  • eggs

Explanation: Sexual reproduction involves two parents. As you can see from Figure below , in sexual reproduction, parents produce reproductive cells—called gametes —that unite to form an offspring. Gametes are haploid cells. This means they contain only half the number of chromosomes found in other cells of the organism. Gametes are produced by a type of cell division called meiosis , which is described in detail in a subsequent concept. The process in which two gametes unite is called fertilization . The fertilized cell that results is referred to as a zygote . A zygote is diploid cell, which means that it has twice the number of chromosomes as a gamete.
