When fertilization occurs that leads to formation of a zygote, which of the following processes takes place?
Answer Details
When fertilization occurs, the nucleus of the sperm fuses with the nucleus of the egg cell. This results in the formation of a zygote, which contains the genetic material from both parents. The tail of the sperm and its other components are left outside the egg cell and do not fuse with it. The fusion of the sperm and egg nuclei triggers a series of events that lead to the development of a new organism.
