What is total number of cell division during formation of 50 zygotes?

Zero. The zygote is the first cell formed by the fertilization of an egg by a sperm cell. It doesn't divide during it's formation, but it does divide afterwards.


Are offspring of gametes haploid or diploid?

Gametes are haploid. When two gametes unite during fertilization, they form a diploid zygote, genetically unique from either parent, and the first cell of the offspring. The zygote is not really considered an offspring of the gametes, but of the parent organisms that produced the gametes. For example, a human zygote is the first cell of a human baby formed when a sperm from a male and an ovum from a female unite during fertilization. The zygote and subsequent baby are the offspring of the mother and father.


How are the usual number of chromosomes restored during fertilization?

When the haploid sperm fertilizes the haploid egg, their chromosomes combine to form a new diploid nucleus in the first cell of the new offspring, which is called a zygote.


What happens first mitotic cell division in a testis or the process of fertilization?

What are the steps of fertilization in flowering plants?

Fertilization in plants is achieved by union of male gamete with an egg nucleus. The first step in fertilization is formation of male and female gametes, Second step is transfer of male gametes containing pollen to stigma of female reproductive organ by pollination. The third step is germination of pollen grain for movement of male gamete to the vicinity of female gamete. The fourth step is the union of the nucleus of male gamete with egg nucleus in the embryo sac. The fourth step of fertilization in angiosperms is the act of double fertilization. During this process one of the two gametes released by a pollen tube fuses with secondary nucleus. The secondary nucleus is formed by fusion of two nuclei of embryo sac. Thus double fertilization is also called triple fusion.

What is ebryo?

An embryo is the early developmental stage of an organism after fertilization, typically characterized by the formation of basic organ structures but not yet fully developed. In humans, the embryo stage lasts from fertilization up until about the eighth week of pregnancy. During this time, the embryo undergoes rapid cell division and differentiation.
