Match each of the following terms with its definition: 1\. Zygote 2\. Gene 3\. Chromosome a. Smallest unit through which genetic information is passed b. Fertilized egg c. Rod-shaped structure containing genetic information

To start with, read each term and definition carefully. Consider the meaning of each term and try to connect it with the respective definition. Breakdown of the definitions:\n\nZygote - This is a biological term which refers to the cell formed when two gametes (sperm and egg) fuse. The correct match should therefore be the definition that refers to a type of cell or egg.\n\nGene - This is a scientific term referring to a distinct sequence of nucleotides forming part of a chromosome, the order of which determines the order of monomers in a polypeptide or nucleic acid molecule which a cell (or virus) may synthesize. It should be thus matched with the definition that refers to genetic information.\n\nChromosome - This refers to a thread-like structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes. This should match with the definition that speaks about some structure containing genetic information.

Now, match each term with the correct definition. From our breakdown:\n\n1. Zygote should match with 'b. Fertilized egg'\n\n2. Gene should match with 'a. Smallest unit through which genetic information is passed'\n\n3. Chromosome should match with 'c. Rod-shaped structure containing genetic information'
