Study Notes
Sexual Reproduction
- During sexual intercourse, the interaction between the male and female reproductive systems results in fertilization, where a sperm cell from the male fertilizes an egg cell from the female.
Gametes
- Specialized reproductive cells, responsible for carrying genetic information, are called gametes.
Chromosomes in Gametes
- Gamete cells contain half the number of chromosomes, specifically 23, which is a haploid number (n).
Genetic Recombination
- Genetic recombination occurs in the zygote, during the process of fertilization, where the genetic material from both parents combines to create a unique individual.
Development Process
- The defined development process, from zygote to fully formed organism, is known as embryogenesis.
