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.
Test your knowledge on the complex life cycle of sexual reproduction, involving the combination of haploid gametes to form a diploid zygote. Explore the variations in chromosome sets and the diversity among different organisms.
