A zygote cell is the initial cell formed when the sperm and egg meet in sexual reproduction.

ADDITION:

A zygote single cell is formed during the union and fusing of a male spermatozoon and a female ovum, after which the fertilized egg begins to develop into an embryo. After this union, the zygote single cell begins to go through a quick change as the chromosomes align and the cell begins to multiply and divide into a multi-cellular organism consisting of the parent's replicated DNA, which continues as the embryo develops tissues, organs and other specific body parts; allowing it to grow into the child it will become.

During metaphase in cell division, a chromosome looks like a condensed and tightly coiled structure that is visible under a microscope. It appears as an X-shaped structure with two identical sister chromatids joined at the centromere.


What is the appearance of two nonsister chromatids following crossing over?

Following crossing over, two nonsister chromatids will have exchanged genetic material, resulting in a hybrid chromatid with a combination of DNA from both original chromatids. This exchange of genetic material creates genetic diversity and variation in the resulting daughter cells after cell division.


Why do Identical twins have identical characteristics?
