Fertilization in farm animals is the process by which a sperm cell from the male fuses with an egg cell from the female to form a zygote. This process typically occurs within the female reproductive tract and marks the beginning of the development of a new individual. Fertilization results in the combination of genetic material from both parents, leading to the formation of a genetically unique offspring.

*NUMBER 4 👇🏻👇🏻*

*(4a)*
A gene is a segment of DNA that contains the instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of organisms. In the context of animal improvement, genes determine specific traits such as growth rate, milk production, disease resistance, and physical characteristics like coat color or the presence of horns.

_______
| | H | H |
|--------|---------|---------|
| h | Hh | Hh |
|--------|---------|---------|
| h | Hh | Hh |
|_|__|__|

*F1 Generation :*
--- All offspring will have the genotype Hh (heterozygous).
--- Phenotypically, all offspring will be horned because H is dominant over h.
