The zygote is formed when two sex cells join to become haploid. It is at this stage that the zygote begins to split and make more cells. It keeps doing this for 5 days until it is called a blastocyst, which is a ball of cells. After this point, the blastocyst is called an embryo or fetus. The embro continues to make cells which eventually become specialised, like skin cells and muscle cells.

It doesn't have anything to do with conservation of mass, just splitting and making thousands of new cells until the zygote becomes a baby.

Does mitosis happen before or after the zygote is formed?

The zygote results from the combination of gametes (sperm and egg) during fertilization. The zygote undergoes mitosis after this, so that it can divide and grow into an organism.


When a fertilized egg undergoes mitosis and cell division?

A zygote is created by the fertilization of two haploid cells created by meiosis. Because a zygote is fertilized by two haploid cells, it is diploid. It then has to divide and grow though mitosis like any other body cells.


Many cells in your body grow and divide every every day by what process?

Mitosis.


How do body cells grow and divide?

they divide and grow by undergoing a process called as mitosis


Which type of cellular division helps our body grow and heal Mitosis or meiosis?

This sounds like the interphase od mitosis.


Which process allows a mammal to continue to grow in size?

mitosis of body cells


What are some reasons why a cell would have to go through mitosis in a body?

Your cells have to grow, repair themselves and reproduce. Mitosis is the process in which they do this.


What happen to the zygote after fertilization?

After fertilization, the zygote undergoes multiple rounds of cell division through a process called mitosis. This leads to the formation of a blastocyst that ultimately implants into the uterus. The blastocyst then develops into an embryo, which continues to grow and differentiate into a fetus.


How do multicellar organisms grow?

Multicellular organisms grow through a process called mitosis. In mitosis, the cell divides itself in two to make more cells and make more body mass.

How does a haplontic animal grow?

Zygotic meiosis is the reproductive cycle of the haplontic life cycle. Gametes from adult haploid individuals unite forming the diploid zygote. The zygote undergoes meiosis and generates four haploid cells that by mitosis develop into adult individuals. Therefore in the zygotic meiosis the cell that undergoes meiosis is the zygote and the gametes are formed by mitosis. TDLR: Effectively, two Haploid cells combine to form a diploid cell which then undergoes meiosis, except the result; gametes are the end product.
