Answer to Problem 7STP
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (B) fertilization
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Option (B) fertilization. Fertilization is characterized as the process that happens when a single sperm enters a mature egg, releasing its DNA into the center of that egg, allowing the fusion of the two sets of DNA to create a human zygote, a single-celled embryo. So, the correct answer is option (B).
Explanation for incorrect answer :
Option (A) budding. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which a new organism emerges at one specific location from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division. The tiny bulb-like projection that emerges from the yeast cell is known as bud. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (C) fragmentation. Multicellular fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction in which an individual is split into fragments. Every of these fragments grow into fully developed species that are genetically and morphologically similar with their parents. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (D) pathogenesis. A disease's pathogenesis is the biological process which leads to a diseased condition. So, this is an incorrect answer.
