| Answer» A zygote is a eukaryotic cell formed by a fertilization event between two gametes . The zygote\'s genome is a combination of the DNA in each gamete, and contains all of the genetic information necessary to form a new individual. In multicellular organisms, the zygote is the earliest developmental stage. In single-celled organisms, the zygote can divide asexually by mitosis to produce identical offspring. | |
