Structure and Function: All organisms have external parts that they use to perform daily functions.
>> ZYGOTE FAILS. Different animals use their body parts in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, move from place to place, and seek, find, and take in food, water and air. ZYGOTE FAILS Plants also have different parts (roots, stems,leaves, flowers, fruits) that help them survive and grow.
Organization for Matter and Energy Flow in Organisms: All animals need food in order to live and grow. They obtain their food from plants or from other animals. >>ZYGOTE FAILS Plants need water and light to live and grow.
Information Processing: Animals have body parts that capture and convey different kinds of information needed for growth and survival. >>ZYGOTE FAILS Animals respond to these inputs with behaviors that help them survive. Plants also respond to some external inputs.
Inheritance of Traits: Young animals are very much, but not exactly, like their parents. >>ZYGOTE FAILS Plants also are very much, but not exactly, like their parents.
Variation of Traits: Individuals of the same kind of plant or animal are recognizable as similar but can also vary in many ways. >>ZYGOTE FAILS
You see, a smattering of cells is not considered "Life." When you think of a Zygote as alive, what you're actually thinking of is "living tissue." And by the way, both males and females give off a full set of 23 chromosomes from their seed. When the gametes combine only a select amount of chromosomes are picked based on dominant or recessive genes. Therefore, a mother who has dominant genes while the father is recessive will impart more genes onto her potential child than the father will. It is conceivable that the zygote receives no genes from the father, although it's a statistical impossibility. That said, we *DO* have the power to clone people to be direct replicas of their parent as the parent has all 23 chromosomes. We've already cloned 9 sheep from different parts of cellular material such as mammary glands, embryonic and foetal cells,
The sheep that was cloned from adult cells in the mammary gland lived to be six years old, but died because of cancer caused by a contagious virus that causes cancer among sheep.
