Question
Millions of sperm are trying to fertilize an egg at a time. This process is called
- Reproduction
- Random fertilization
- Independent assortment
- Recombination
Hint:
A sperm can fertilize an egg only based on chance or probability.
The correct answer is: Random fertilization
- Random fertilization is the term used to describe the fertilization of an egg by a sperm.
- Sperms are produced in millions but only one female gamete or egg is produced.
- Of the million sperms, only one sperm can fuse with the egg to form a zygote, which occurs randomly.
- Fusion of haploid sperm and haploid egg results in formation of a diploid zygote.
