Fertilized eggs inherit information through their chromosomes. They receive their chromosomes from their mother and their father. The information is encoded on their DNA.
Sperm cell- Contains the genetic information from the male parent (23 chromosomes)
Egg cell- Contains genetic information from the female parent (23 chromosomes)
The sperm enters the egg and the egg becomes fertilised. The fertilised egg is called a zygote. The zygote has 46 chromosomes, information from both parents.

Which statement explains why the information in a fertilized egg is not exactly like the information in the nucleus of the cells of either parent?
Since fertilized egg receives one set of chromosomes from each parent (male & female) therefore, the information in the nucleus of this cell is not exactly of either parent.
What becomes a fertilized egg?
