Sexual Reproduction Flashcards
Sexual Reproduction produces [ ] cells
Genetically different
What is sexual reproduction?
Where genetic information from 2 organisms (mother and a father) is combined to produce offspring which are genetically different to either parent
In Sexual Reproduction the mother and the father produce [ ].
Gametes
What are the human Gametes?
Sperm and Egg
How many chromosomes does a human gamete have?
23 chromosomes (half of the total)
How do we get a full set of chromosomes?
The egg and the sperm fuse together (fertilisation) to form a cell with a full number of chromosomes
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female [ ]. As there are 2 parents, the offspring contain a mixture of [ ]
gametes
their parents’ genes
The mixture of [ ] produces variation in the offspring
