What kind of cell results when a diploid and a haploid gamete fuse during fertilization?

Biology
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: a triploid cell.

Explanation:

A triploid cell is the result of the fertilization of a diploid cell and a haploid cell. Triploid cells have 3 sets of chromosomes, diploids have 2 sets, and haploids have only 1 set.

Humans, besides many other species, have diploid cells - one set of chromosomes comes from the mother and the other set of chromosomes comes from the father. <u>In order to maintain this number, </u><u>gametes</u><u> (the sex cells: spermatozoids and oocytes) become haploid through meiosis</u>. This way, when the spermatozoid fertilizes the oocyte, the resulting cell will be diploid.

A gamete being diploid is a result of an <u>error during meiosis</u>, and will most likely generate a triploid cell during fertilization.

A triploid cell, unfortunately, <u>won't be able to survive,</u> so they are almost always spontaneously aborted in the first two weeks of pregnancy.

What stage does cytokinesis generally overlap with in the typical cell cycle?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Cytokinesis generally overlap with the typical cell cycle in the telophase stage. Telophase is the last stage of mitosis; where the sister chromatids reach opposite poles. Telophase and cytokinesis occur simultaneously, during cytokinesis the cell splits in two once the DNA has been replicated and pulled to opposite ends of the cell.

Ghella [55]

The categorization of the characteristics based on whether they are describing chloroplasts or mitochondria are as follows:

  1. <u>Mitochondria:</u> carry out cellular respiration.
  2. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> carry out photosynthesis.
  3. <u>Mitochondria:</u> found in plant and animal cells.
  4. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> produce carbohydrates used as source of food for most living things.  
  5. <u>Mitochondria:</u> abundant in human muscle cells.
  6. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> not found in animal cells.
  7. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> contain chlorophyll.

<h3>What is a cell?</h3>

A cell can be defined as the fundamental functional, structural and smallest unit of life, which is found within the body of an organism.

Some examples of cell organelles that are found in the body of an organism include the following:

  • Mitochondria.
  • Nucleus.
  • Endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
  • Vesicles.
  • Cytoplasm.
  • Cell membrane.
  • Chromosome.
  • Golgi apparatus (bodies).
  • Chloroplast

<h3>What is mitochondria?</h3>

Mitochondria can be defined as one of the cell organelles that is found in the body of a living organism.

Also, mitochondria is known as the powerhouse because it is saddled with responsibility of providing all the energy required in the cell, especially by transforming energy forms through series of chemical reactions.
