A) chromosome.
B) zygote.
C) genotype.
D) genome.
Zygote
The initial cell formed when two gamete cells (e.g., sperm and egg) are joined by means of sexual reproduction. It represents the earliest stage of development in many organisms.
- Identify the sequence and methods of human growth, from the initial conception to the final birth, emphasizing the roles of principal biological processes such as the formation of a zygote and the passing on of genetics.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A zygote is the result of the fusion of a sperm and egg cell during fertilization, and is the beginning of a new individual's life. A chromosome is a thread-like structure made up of DNA that carries genetic information, and is found within cells. Genotype refers to the specific genetic makeup of an individual, while genome refers to the entire set of genetic material within an organism.
