Study Notes
Reproductive System Interaction
- During sexual intercourse, the male and female reproductive systems interact to facilitate fertilization, where sperm from the male reproductive system fuses with the egg from the female reproductive system.
Gamete Cells
- Gamete cells, namely sperm and egg cells, each have a chromosome count of 23.
Fertilization
- The process of two gamete cells merging into one zygote cell is called fertilization.
Post-Fertilization
- After human fertilization and the formation of a zygote, the zygote begins to divide and grow, eventually forming a blastocyst, which implants in the uterus, marking the beginning of embryonic development.
Zygote Chromosome Count
- The typical chromosome count of the new zygote after fertilization is 46, resulting from the fusion of the 23 chromosomes from the sperm and the 23 chromosomes from the egg.
