EGL USA is one of the largest and oldest independent gemological institutions focusing on gemstone certification and research. Originally part of an international network founded in Europe in 1974, EGL USA opened its first U.S. lab in the heart of New York's international diamond and jewelry district in 1977.
the fusion of the nucleus of a haploid sperm cell and the nucleus of a haploid egg cell, forming a diploid zygote zygote diploid cell formed when the nucleus of a haploid sperm cell fuses with the nucleus of a haploid egg cell tetrad group of four chromatids formed during prophase I of meiosis by the two sister chromatids in each of the two homologous chromosomes
Next stop: fertilization and oocyte activation. Fertilization is the fusion of two haploid gametes to produce a diploid zygote. Each haploid gamete in humans has 23 chromosomes, while the diploid zygote has 46.This fusion usually occurs within 24 hours after the oocyte has been released from the ovary.n humans, each of these gametes has 23 chromosomes-that's half the amount of DNA required for development, so these cells are called haploid cells. The fusion of these two cells is called fertilization and it produces a diploid cell with 46 chromosomes-twice the amount found in each gamete.
