Assertion: During fertilisation, diploid zygote is formed by entering the head of the sperm nucleus into the egg.
Reason: Second Maturation division of ovum is arrested at metaphase stage of meiosis ll.
If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark A
If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark B
If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark C
If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark D
During fertilisation, diploid zygote is formed by entering the head of the sperm nucleus(DNA) into the egg
Second Maturation division of ovum is arrested at the metaphase stage of meiosis ll. It is in this stage of the oocyte that the ovum is shed during ovulation. It passes into the oviduct, where the cell cycle resumes only after the entry of sperm.
Option b is the correct answer.
