Sexual and asexual reproduction

How many pairs of chromosomes do Human cells contain

23

What Happens in mitosis

One cell is copied into two identical cells

Whats the Type of cell where chromosomes aren’t paired

Gamates

What are the gamates in humans

sperm cell

Egg cell

How are the chromosomes in gamates

Single, Not paired

Exactly how many chromosomes do human Sperm and egg cells contain

23

How are gamates made

A type of cell Division called meiosis

What does meiosis produce unlike mitosis

Non identical cells

Where does meiosis also take place

In flowering plants. In this case the Gametes are Pollen and egg cells

What does sexual reproduction involve

The Fusion of Male and female gametes ( ovum and sperm)

What does fusion mean

Joining

What do scientists call the fusion of sperm cell and egg cell

Fertilisation

What is there in sexual reproduction

A Mixing of genetic information

The offspring receives genetic information from both the male and female parents

What does sexual reproduction lead to

Genetic variation

What does asexual repoduction involve

One parent

Does not involve gametes

Whag Happens in asexual reproduction due to only being one parent

No Mixing of genetic information

What does asexual Reproduction lead to

No genetic Variation in offspring

All offspring are genetic all identical

What cell Division is involved in asexual reproduction

Mitosis

What does asexual Production Produce

Clones
