Chapter 2, Problem 33P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The long term and short term effects of male infertility on society.
Introduction: The biological process of developing new offsprings is termed as reproduction. The process is a fundamental feature for all the living organisms, as each exiting organism is a result of reproduction only.

If a human gamete with a missing chromosome participates in fertilization with a gamete with a normal number of chromosomes, how many chromosomes will the zygote have? Will the zygote be viable? Explain your answer. (Remember, zygotes are diploid)
If a human gamete with an extra chromosome participates in fertilization with a gamete with a normal number of chromosomes, how many chromosomes will the zygote have? Explain your answer. (Remember, zygotes are diploid)
One of the advantages of sexual reproduction is that it promotes genetic diversity in the offspring. This is because gametes are produced by meiosis, which introduces genetic variation into the resulting gametes. How does meiosis accomplish this? Describe one way (there are several choices) in which meiosis produces new combinations of genes in gametes.

- In humans, gametogenesis in both sexes relies on meiosis. However, spermatogenesis produces four gametes while oogenesis produces only one. Explain why this is so, including the specific structures or processes involved.arrow_forwardOogenesis is the process of female gamete (ovum or egg) production in animals. Spermatogenesis is the process of male gamete (sperm) production in animals. Although both processes produce gamete(s), there are distinct similarities and differences between the two. Compare and contrast oogenesis to spermatogenesis by drawing a diagram showing the two processes.
