A gamete is also known as a "sex cell". These are the egg and the sperm. Zygotes are fertilised eggs.

This means that when the female gamete is fertilised by the male gamete, it forms a zygote.

The order would be: Meiosis -> sex cells -> fertilization -> zygote -> mitosis Meiosis creates sex cells, called gametes, which combine during fertilization to create a zygote. The zygote then undergoes mitosis.


Is zygote produced by meiosis?

The two gametes (sperm and egg) are produced through meiosis. The zygote is formed only when the sperm fertilizes the egg.


Coud the formation of a zygote occur during meiosis?

Meiosis generates gametes (sperm and eggs cells). The combination of the gametes makes the zygotes. So, the process meiosis produces only half of a zygote.

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.
