Study Notes
Sexual Reproduction
- Sexual reproduction does not occur in prokaryotes, such as bacteria.
- The result of the combination of two gametes in sexual reproduction is a zygote with a unique combination of genetic material.
- Meiosis is the process that involves the division of diploid precursor cells to produce haploid cells.
- The organism produced by sexual reproduction has a diploid set of chromosomes, meaning it has two sets of chromosomes.
- The reproductive cells involved in sexual reproduction are gametes, such as sperm and egg cells.
- Sexual reproduction is the most common life cycle in eukaryotes, such as plants, animals, and fungi.
Exceptions to Sexual Reproduction
- Some organisms, such as asexual organisms, do not undergo sexual reproduction.
- Bacteria, archaea, and some protists are examples of organisms that do not undergo sexual reproduction.
