Questions and Answers

Which of the following best describes the environment in which a zygote develops in organisms with external fertilization?

In the external medium, usually water (correct)

In a nutrient-rich egg

In a specialized reproductive organ

Inside the body of the organism

What is the significance of the thick wall that develops around the zygote in fungi and algae?

It helps the zygote to move to a more favorable location.

It protects the zygote from drying out and damage. (correct)

It allows the zygote to absorb water more efficiently.

It provides the zygote with nourishment for development.

In organisms with a haplontic life cycle, what is the result of the zygote undergoing meiosis?

The formation of a new zygote

The formation of a diploid individual

The formation of haploid spores (correct)

The formation of gametes

Study Notes

The Zygote

The diploid zygote is formed during sexual reproduction in all organisms.
External fertilization forms the zygote outside the organism's body. Internal fertilization forms the zygote inside.
The development of the zygote depends on environmental factors and the organism's life cycle.
Some organisms (fungi and algae) develop a resistant wall protecting the zygote from drying and damage.
A period of rest may occur before zygote germination
In haplontic life cycles (as discussed in Class XI), the zygote divides via meiosis forming haploid spores.
The spores develop into haploid individuals.
In diplontic and haplo-diplontic organisms a subsequent development occurs; refer to your Class XI textbook
The zygote connects species of one generation to the next generation in sexually reproducing organisms.
All sexually reproducing organisms begin life as a zygote. Humans included.

Description

This quiz explores the formation and development of the zygote in various organisms, focusing on both external and internal fertilization. It discusses the environmental factors influencing zygote development, along with life cycle stages like haplontic and diplontic. Dive deeper into the essential role zygotes play in sexually reproducing organisms.
