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.
