Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) A zygote is an unfertilized egg

B) A zygote is made up of one cell

C) A zygote is the fusion of two gametes

D) A zygote is where gametes are formed

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Organisms that reproduce asexually do so via the production of gametes via meiotic division. These gametes are haploid cells produced by both male and female organisms. Male produces sperm (n), while female produces eggs (n).

In a process called FERTILIZATION, these two gametes fuse together to form a diploid cell called ZYGOTE (2n). Hence, a zygote is a fertilized egg, by a sperm. The statement that best describes a zygote is that it is the fusion of two gametes.

Red and white show incomplete dominance

Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the phenotypes of both alleles.

Hope this helps! I'm happy to help with any other questions you might have :)
