sporophyte (thallus or plant)‚ which is genetically diploid. A haploid plant of the gametophyte generation produces gametes by mitosis. Two gametes (originating from different organisms of the same species or from the same organism) combine to produce a zygote‚ which develops into a diploid plant of the sporophyte generation. This sporophyte produces spores by meiosis‚ which germinate and develop into a gametophyte of the next generation. This cycle‚ from gametophyte to gametophyte‚ is the way in which

Some scholars even think that plants paved the way for land animals by simultaneously increasing the amount of oxygen in the Earth ’s atmosphere and decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide. Evolutionist believe that plants evolved from green

deprives the zygote from any future life. In The Journal of Philosophy‚ Don Marquis argues in his essay‚ “Why Abortion is Immoral” that abortion is wrong because it deprives the fetus of a ‘future like ours’. I agree with his claim‚ but feel his overall argument is weak because of word fetus and the statement ‘future like ours’. His use of the word fetus was told to represent all stages of pregnancy‚ since that was not his debate. However in my argument the word zygote will be used

The zygote cell is the first stage of the embryo. The zygote contains DNA from both parents which create a unique new identity that has never existed. That is the start of a baby‚ therefore a pregnancy is not just the woman and her body; new life has already begun since the zygote has the four criteria needed to establish biological life which include growth‚ metabolism‚ reaction to a stimuli

Q: Describe the three types of fungi reproduction. A: (See below) 1. Fragmentation of the hyphae or mycelium. (Asexual) 2. Formation of conidiospores or sporangiospores. (Asexual) 3. Formation of gametes‚ which fuse to produce diploid zygotes. The zygotes undergo meiosis to produce haploid spores that grow back into the fungal hyphae. Q: List the types of specialized hyphae. A: Sporangiophores‚ rhizoids‚ and stolons. Q: How do most fungi reproduce? What are the mating types called?

The moment when a human sperm penetrates a human ovum a new entity comes into existence. A “Zygote” is the name of the first cell formed‚ the earliest stage of the human embryo. Some questions raised are is it human‚ is it alive‚ is it just a bunch of cells or is it an actual organism‚ a “being?” The zygote is composed of human DNA and other human molecules‚ so it is undeniably human. The human zygote also has a genetic composition that is absolutely unique to itself. It is different from any

Amendment. Life begins at birth. At the moment when the sperm hits the egg‚ a new entity comes into existence. Zygote is the name of the first cell formed at conception‚ the earliest developmental stage of the human embryo‚ followed by the Morula and Blastocyst stages. Is it human? Is it alive? Is it just a cell or is it an actual organism‚ a being? These are logical questions. The zygote is composed of human DNA and other human molecules‚ so its nature is undeniably human and not
