Reproduction

Question 1

What is sexual reproduction?

Answer 1

The process includes the fusion of the nuclei of 2 gametes to form a zygote (Fertilised egg cell) and the production of offspring that are genetically different from eachother

Question 2

How are gametes produced?

Answer 2

Through Meiosis

Question 3

Are offspring produced by sexual reproduction genetically different or same?

Answer 3

Genetically different

Question 4

Is sexual reproduction a quick or slow process?

Answer 4

Slow

Question 5

What is asexual reproduction?

Answer 5

The process of making identical offspring being produced from 1 parent

Question 6

Does asexual reproduciton require gametes or fertilisation?

Answer 6

No

Question 7

Are offspring produced by asexual reproduction genetically different or same?

Answer 7

Same

Question 8

What are gametes?

Answer 8

They are sex cells produced by meiosis

Question 9

How many chromosomes are in each gamete?

Answer 9

23 in the sperm cell
23 in the egg cell

Question 10

What is the adaption of the sperm cell to improve chances of successful fertilisation

Answer 10

Sperm cells have a tail that helps propel them toward the egg, they also have mitochondria which help them produce and store energy

Question 11

What is the adaptation of the egg cell to improve chances of successful fertilisation

Answer 11

Egg cells have energy stores within the cytoplasm which enable and support early embryo development

Question 12

How can you define fertilisation?

Answer 12

The fusion of male and female gametes to produce a zygote

Question 13

What does a zygote do?

Answer 13

It divides by mitosis to develop into an embryo
