Study Notes
Organism Reproduction
- Organisms reproduce to ensure the survival and continuity of their species.
- Reproduction can be classified into two main types: asexual and sexual.
Asexual Reproduction
- Producing offspring from a single parent without the involvement of gametes is known as asexual reproduction.
- Examples include binary fission, budding, and vegetative propagation.
Sexual Reproduction
- This process involves the fusion of male and female gametes to produce offspring.
- It enhances genetic diversity within a population.
Cell Division for Gametes
- Meiosis is the type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells).
- It reduces the chromosome number by half, ensuring genetic stability across generations.
Fertilization Site
- Fertilization commonly occurs in the fallopian tubes of the female reproductive system.
- The fusion of sperm and egg leads to the development of a zygote, which eventually forms a new individual.
