A fertilized egg is called a zygote until it divides into 16 cells, forming a ball-shaped structure called a morula. The events during the zygote stage involve the integration of both parents' DNA into the cell nucleus and the beginning of rapid cell division, or cleavage.
Answer:
Homologous chromosomes do not function the same in mitosis as they do in meiosis. Prior to every single mitotic division a cell undergoes, the chromosomes in the parent cell replicate themselves. The homologous chromosomes within the cell will ordinarily not pair up and undergo genetic recombination with each other.
One consequence would be that population would make it so their would be less food for them and then any species under that would be endangered eventually
