The process of two gametes combining is called
fertilization
The cell diploid cell that results when an egg and sperm unite is called a
zygote
Chromosomes that carry the same genes and are the same lenght are called
homologous chromosomes

Domestic horses have 64 chromosomes. How many chromosomes should be in an egg cell of a female horse?

A wallaby has 10 chromosomes in their body cells. Wallabies produce gametes for reproduction by meiosis. DRAW and LABEL a wallaby sperm cell, a wallaby egg cell, and the zygote (the cell that results from the fertilization process). Cleary show the number of chromosomes in each cell. Be sure to label the egg, sperm, and zygote.
