The geological time scale is a record and division of everything that has happened on Earth. This is not an absolute scale as we have an incomplete fossil record.

The geological column was created by placing Earth's rocks in order of their relative age. The scale was obtained by dividing the geological column into different time periods through studying large scale changes in the fossil record. This was further tuned with the help of radioactive dating.

Thus the divisions of the geological time are determined by the observed major changes in the Earth's life forms. It is dependent on the history of life on Earth.

When sperm and ovum unite at conception, a(n) __________ results. autosome gamete zygote allele?
frosja888 [35]

Answer;

-Zygote

When sperm and ovum unite at conception, a zygote results.

Explanation;

-Conception occurs when a sperm cell from a fertile man swims up through the vagina and into the uterus of a woman and joins with the woman's egg cell (ovum) as it travels down one of the Fallopian tubes from the ovary to the uterus.

-A zygote is the union of the sperm cell and the ovum. Also known as a fertilized ovum, the zygote begins as a single cell but divides rapidly in the days following fertilization. After this two-week period of cell division, the zygote eventually becomes an embryo.
