Study Notes
Sexual Reproduction
- Most common life cycle of sexual reproduction is exhibited by multicellular organisms, including plants and animals.
- Organisms that do not undergo sexual reproduction include certain bacteria, some protists, and some fungi.
Cell Combination
- In sexual reproduction, gametes (haploid cells) combine to produce a zygote (diploid cell).
Result of Gamete Combination
- The combination of gametes in sexual reproduction results in the formation of a zygote with a unique combination of genetic material.
Bacterial Process
- In bacteria, the process of conjugation, which involves the transfer of genetic material between two bacteria, may be considered analogous to sexual reproduction.
