WHAT DOES KARYOGAMY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

karyogamy

Karyogamy

Karyogamy is the final step in the process of fusing together two haploid eukaryotic cells, and refers specifically to the fusion of the two nuclei. Before karyogamy, each haploid cell has one complete copy of the organism's genome. In order for karyogamy to occur, the cell membrane and cytoplasm of each cell must fuse with the other in a process known as plasmogamy. Once within the joined cell membrane, the nuclei are referred to as pronuclei. Once the cell membranes, cytoplasm, and pronuclei fuse together, the resulting single cell is diploid, containing two copies of the genome. This diploid cell, called a zygote or zygospore can then enter meiosis, or continue to divide by mitosis. Mammalian fertilization uses a comparable process to combine haploid sperm and egg cells to create a diploid fertilized egg. The term karyogamy comes from the Greek karuo- meaning nut and -gamos meaning marriage.

Definition of karyogamy in the English dictionary

The definition of karyogamy in the dictionary is the fusion of two gametic nuclei during fertilization.
