which of the following statements are true?
one egg is fertilized by one sperm
a gamete is haploid
all of the choices are accurate
a zygote is diploid
Brief Explanations
- Analyze "one egg is fertilized by one sperm": In human and most animal fertilization, typically one egg is fertilized by one sperm (polyspermy is blocked in many species).
- Analyze "a gamete is haploid": Gametes (sperm and egg) have half the number of chromosomes (haploid, \(n\)) compared to somatic cells.
- Analyze "a zygote is diploid": A zygote is formed by the fusion of a haploid sperm and haploid egg, so it has a full set of chromosomes (diploid, \(2n\)).
Since all three statements are accurate, the "all of the choices are accurate" option is correct.
