The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the development of monozygotic twins, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Monozygotic Twins**: - The term "monozygotic" indicates that these twins originate from a single zygote. 2. **Identifying the Zygote Formation**: - A zygote is formed when a sperm fertilizes an ovum (egg). In the case of monozygotic twins, this means that one egg is fertilized by one sperm. 3. **Splitting of the Zygote**: - After the zygote is formed, it undergoes a process called cleavage or splitting. This process results in the zygote dividing into two separate embryos. 4. **Genetic Similarity**: - Since both twins come from the same zygote, they share identical genetic material, making them genetically identical or "monozygotic". 5. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - Option (a) Different zygotes: Incorrect, as monozygotic twins come from the same zygote. - Option (b) Different ova: Incorrect, as monozygotic twins arise from one ovum. - Option (c) Different sperms: While multiple sperms can fertilize an egg, monozygotic twins specifically arise from one sperm fertilizing one egg. - Option (d) Same zygote: Correct, as this is the definition of monozygotic twins. ### Conclusion: The correct answer is (d) Same zygote. ---
