After fertilization, fertilized cells will immediately undergo meiosis Homologous chromosome pairs--one from each gamete--fuse during fertilization Fertilization results in haploid daughter cells The zygote resulting from fertilization has the same number of chromosomes as either parents' somatic cells

Which of the statements is true about gamete formation in mammals? In female gamete formation, the polar bodies formed during meiosis can be fertilized by sperm. In female gamete formation, the separation of the cytoplasm is unequal during meiosis. In male gamete formation, only one of the four cells resulting from meiosis becomes a sperm. In female gamete formation, all four of the cells resulting from meiosis become an egg, which upon fertilization by a sperm cell, forms a zygote. Which of the statements is true about gametes? They are found in animals but not plants. They are formed by mitotic cell division. They fuse to form a new organism during fertilization. They have the same number of chromosomes as a somatic cell of the same individual. They are genetically identical to other gametes formed during meiosis.
