Question

The process that merges the gametes from two parents is
A) conjugation.
B) mitosis.
C) meiosis.
D) parthenogenesis.
E) fertilization.

Accepted Answer

Fertilization is the process by which the gametes from two parents (sperm and egg) merge to form a zygote, which will develop into an offspring. Conjugation is a process of genetic exchange between two bacterial cells, while mitosis and meiosis are forms of cell division. Parthenogenesis is a form of reproduction in which an unfertilized egg develops into an offspring, without the need for sperm.
