Question

What happens when two haploid
gametes are combined during
fertilization?
A. The cell doubles in size.
B. The diploid number is restored to the zygote.
C. The cell immediately fuses to any cell any the
vicinity

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is the correct one

Explanation:

Fertilization between the haploid gametes forms a diploid zygote. ... Haploid (1n) spores germinate and undergo mitosis to produce a multicellular gametophyte (1n). Specialized cells of the gametophyte undergo mitosis to produce sperm and egg cells (1n), which combine in fertilization to make a zygote (2n)
