Zygote
A zygote (from Greek ζυγωτός zygōtos "joined" or "yoked", from ζυγοῦν zygoun "to join" or "to yoke") [1] 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.

A zygote (from Greek ζυγωτός zygōtos "joined" or "yoked", from ζυγοῦν zygoun "to join" or "to yoke"), [1] or zygocyte , is the initial cell formed when a new organism is produced by means of sexual reproduction . A zygote is synthesized from the union of two gametes , and constitutes the first stage in a unique organism's development . Zygotes are usually produced by a fertilization event between two haploid cells—an ovum from a female and a sperm cell from a male —which combine to form the single diploid cell. Such zygotes contain DNA derived from both the mother and the father, and this provides all the genetic information necessary to form a new individual. The term zygote is also used more loosely to refer to the group of cells formed by the first few cell divisions, although this is properly referred to as a morula . |
