37.Diploid zygote is universal in: A. All sexually reproducing organisms B. All asexually reproducing organisms C. All sexually and asexually reproducing organisms D. Plants only
Option A During sexual reproduction in all eukaryotes (plants and animals) the male and female gametes fuse leading to the formation of zygote. Generally, gamete formation is not a part of asexual reproduction. But in haploid parthenogenesis, a rare form of parthenogenesis that occurs in a few species of bees, nematodes, and plants, offspring develop from haploid eggs to produce haploid adults. We still consider this a type of asexual reproduction as gametes are formed but there is no fusion of gametes to form zygote, .
