Question

Identify the correct sequence of events in sexual reproduction.

• A. Syngamy
• B. Zygote formation
• C. Gametogenesis
• D. Embryogenesis
• E. Gamete transfer

Answer 1

During sexual reproduction after gamete formation or gametogenesis, haploid gametes move towards each other, that is a process called gamete transfer and they fuse together. This process is called syngamy or fertilisation and it leads to the formation of a diploid zygote. The zygote then develops into an embryo in a sequence of events that is collectively termed as embryogenesis.
