Question

In the following diagram,the electrical pulse fuses the enucleated egg from one sheep and the somatic mammary cell from another sheep.This fused cell is most similar to a ________ formed during normal sexual reproduction.

A) somatic cell 
B) meiotic germ cell 
C) gamete 
D) zygote

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fused cell resulting from the electrical pulse is most similar to a zygote formed during normal sexual reproduction because it is the result of the fusion of two haploid cells, one from each parent, to form a diploid cell that will undergo mitosis and eventually develop into a multicellular organism. The other options (somatic cell, meiotic germ cell, and gamete) are not suitable choices because they do not represent the cell type that results from the fusion of a sperm and an egg during fertilization.
