Answer:

The correct answer is a. Zygote

Explanation:

Edouard van Beneden was a zoology professor at the University of Liège whose worked showed how chromosomes are organized during gamete formation or during meiosis process.

During meiosis, the chromosomes number is reduced to half so each gamete contains half of the chromosome found in somatic cell and are called haploid cells. This reduction in chromosome number is necessary to bring the correct number of chromosomes in the zygote.

During fertilization, sperms fuse with eggs to produce a single diploid cell that is known as zygote. So the zygote has 46 chromosome in which half comes from sperm and half from the egg.

A change in temperature affects an enzyme by causing the enzyme to change it's shape.

<h3>what is an enzyme?</h3>

An enzyme is a substance that catalyzes chemical reactions.

  • Temperature is one of the major factors that aid enzymes action.

  • Increase in temperature could increase the rate of enzyme.

  • However, at a very high temperatures, the enzyme can be denatured thereby changing it shape or structure and the enzyme may no longer bind to the substrate or function effectively this will then reduce the rate of chemical reaction.

Therefore, a change in temperature i.e very high temperature can change the shape of an enzyme.
