Explain the Post -fertilisation events- formation of zygote? |
|
Answer» Post -fertilisation events- formation of zygote Zygote. One celled , diploid, vital link between two generations. • External fertilization –zygote formed in external medium water eg. Frog, • Internal fertilization –zygote formed inside the body eg. Humanbeings. Development of zygote depends on type of life cycle and environment. Some develop thick wall ( prevent damage and desiccation) & undergo period of rest eg. Algae, fungi. • Haplontic life cycle- zygote (2n) divides by meiosis to form haploid (n) spores. • Diplontic life-cycle- zygote (2n) divides mitotically, develops into embryo (2n). • Oviparous animals lay eggs out-side the female body.Eggs can be fertilized/ unfertilized. Fertilized eggs covered which hard calcareous shell, laid in safe place in the environment. Unfertilised eggs laid in water. Example- fishes, frogs, reptiles, birds • Viviparous animals bear and rear the embryo inside female body, give birth to young-ones. Advantage- proper embryonic care, protection, survival chances of young-ones greater. Example- cows, whales, humanbeings • Embryogenesis: development of embryo from zygote by cell division (mitosis) and cell differentiation. |
