What is the chromosome count in gamete cells?
23 single chromosomes
What process results in the creation of gametes?
Gametogenesis

What is the defined development process that follows fertilization?
Human embryogenesis
Study Notes
Reproductive Systems
- During sexual intercourse, the interaction between the male and female reproductive systems leads to fertilization, resulting in the creation of a zygote.
Gamete Cells
- Gamete cells (sperm and egg cells) have a haploid chromosome count of 23.
Gamete Formation
- Meiosis is the process that results in the creation of gametes, reducing the chromosome count by half.
Genetic Recombination
- Genetic recombination during fertilization shuffles genetic information, increasing genetic variation and diversity in offspring.
Development Process
- Following fertilization, the defined development process involves multiple stages, including cleavage, gastrulation, organogenesis, and morphogenesis, ultimately forming a fully developed organism.
