Question

A _____ is a fertilized egg that carries all the genetic information to make a unique human being.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be Zygote.

Explanation:

A zygote is the fertilized egg that carries all the genetic information to make a unique human being. A zygote is formed when the sperm cells and egg cells combine. Zygote is also called as an ovum. In the beginning, zygote is a single cell, but it divides into two separate cells during fertilization. Zygote carries the genetic information of parent cells which is taken by the zygote which will make a unique cell from the combination of sperm cells and eggs.

Answer 2

A zygote is a fertilized egg cell that carries all the genetic information to make a unique human being. A zygote or fertilized ovum (egg) is created when the sperm cell and the egg cell are united. The zygote begins as a single cell but divides rapidly in the days following fertilization until after two weeks it becomes an embryo.
