Fertilization
The process of gamete fusion is called fertilization. This process forms a diploid cell also known as a zygote.
Isogamy: It is the fusion of similar size gametes. ie if male gamete and female gamete which are in same size fuse, then the type of fertilization is called isogamy. And also the male and female gametes look alike .Oogamy: It is the fusion of unequal size gametes. ie., the male gamete is smaller than female gamete. The human sperm is smaller then female egg and the fusion of these two is called Oogamy.
The male gamete is called sperm and the female gamete is called egg or ovum. When sperm fertilizes the egg, the result is a zygote, which is the initial stage of a new individual (embryo) with a complete set of genetic material from both parents.
The female gamete is called an ovum or an egg. This is the cell that is fertilized by the male gamete known as the sperm.
The fusion of a sperm and egg cell results in the formation of a new individual derived from their gametes.
The embryo and endosperm of the pine nut are diploid. The embryo is formed from the fusion of a male gamete (sperm) and a female gamete (egg), both of which are haploid, resulting in a diploid zygote. The endosperm is also formed from a fusion of a male gamete and a central cell in the female gametophyte.
Pollen joins with the ovules in the ovary of a flower to form seeds through a process called fertilization. This process involves the fusion of the male gamete (pollen) and the female gamete (ovule) to form a zygote, which eventually develops into a seed.
It is called gamete. In animals the male gamete is always a sperm. In most flowering plants the male gamete is also called sperm.
No, an embryo is not a gamete. A gamete is a specialized reproductive cell (sperm or egg) that fuses with another gamete during fertilization to form a zygote, which then develops into an embryo. An embryo is the early stage of development after fertilization.
During fertilisation in plants, one male gamete fuses with the egg cell and forms the zygote (this process is called syngamy). The other male gamete fuses with the secondary nucleus (this is called triple fusion). The syngamy and triple fusion together are called double fertilization.
ovum
Zygote is eormed by the fusion of male(sperm) and female gamete(ova).
