<span>The answer is Acetylcholine. Acetycholine is a chemical messenger, a neurotransmitter that is released by nerve cells in many parts of the peripheral nervous system. It controls the contraction of skeletal muscles or voluntary muscles and also affects the contraction of smooth and cardiac muscle. It binds to the nicotinic ion channel receptors on the muscle cell membrane, causing the ion channels to open. Then calcium ions flows into the muscle cel, initiating a sequence of steps that finally produce muscle contraction. </span>

Union of haploid and diploid gamete results in a zygote that is
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Triploid

Explanation:

The process whereby gametes produced by different sexes of the same species of organism come together is called FERTILIZATION. A gamete is said to be HAPLOID (n) if it contains one set of chromosomes while it is DIPLOID (2n) if it contains two sets of chromosomes.

Hence, if an haploid (n) and diploid (2n) gamete unites, a zygote that is TRIPLOID (3n) emerges or forms. A triploid zygote will have three sets of chromosomes i.e. n + 2n = 3n.
