Question
Chapter 19, Problem 7CR
Summary Introduction
To review:
The accomplishment of genetic variability through sexual reproduction.
Introduction:
The process by which new individuals are formed sexually by combining male and female gametes is called sexual reproduction. Male gamete is sperm, whereas female gamete is ovum. The new organism formed consist of the genetic information from both the parents.

- Now that you've learned about mitotic and meiotic cell division, you understand that the process of mitosis results in cells that are identical to the parent cell whereas in meiosis, the daughter cells that are produced are genetically different from the parent cell. Meiosis introduces variation into populations of sexually reproducing organisms while mitosis produces cells for growth and cell specialization. In this post you will demonstrate understanding of how meiosis contributes to genetic variability and why this variability is important. How would children look if humans would reproduce through mitosis instead of using meiosis? Would there be any pitfalls in a population of humans if mitosis were the primary method for reproduction? Please remember to add a question to engage your classmates in the discussion.arrow_forwardDescribe the 3 sexual causes of genetic variability and identify the stages of human development when they occur.arrow_forwardDefine isogamy?arrow_forward
