Study Notes

Gamete and Sexual Reproduction

A gamete is a specialized cell that fuses with another gamete during sexual reproduction, resulting in the formation of a zygote.

Sexual Reproduction

Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two gametes, each contributing half of the genetic material, to form a zygote with a complete set of chromosomes.
This process increases genetic diversity by combining genetic information from two parents.

Commonality of Sexual Reproduction

Sexual reproduction is most common in multicellular organisms, such as animals, plants, and fungi.

Result of Gamete Combination

The result of the combination of gametes in sexual reproduction is a zygote, which develops into a new individual with a unique combination of genetic traits.

Exceptions to Sexual Reproduction

Sexual reproduction does not occur in single-celled organisms, such as bacteria, which reproduce asexually through binary fission or other mechanisms.
