Question

Syngamy is

• A. Fusion of two cells
• B. Fusion of two nuclei
• C. Fusion of two gametes
• D. Fusion of two gametic nuclei

Answer 1

The correct option is C Fusion of two gametes

Syngamy involves the fusion of male gamete with the female gamete (i.e. the egg). Syngamy results in the formation of a diploid zygote, which is the first cell of sporophytic generation. Zygote then divides and forms a multicellular structure called the embryo.

Hence, syngamy is the fusion between two gametes.

So, the correct answer is C.
