Question

Write the pre-fertilization events from the list given below: syngamy, gametogenesis, embryogenesis, gamete transfer?

Answer 1

Pre-fertilisation events are gametogenesis and gamete transfer. Post fertilisation events are embryogenesis and syngamy.

Gametogenesis is a biological process by which diploid or haploid precursor cells undergo cell division and differentiation to form mature haploid gametes.

Gamete transfer involves the transfer of gamete from male to female. In plants, it is transferred by fertilisation while in animals it takes place by copulation.

Syngamy is the fusion of male and female gametes.

Embryogenesis is the process of development of the embryo.
