Question

Explain the following :
1} Sexual reproduction in brief.
2} Meiosis in brief.

Answer 1

Answer:

Sexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction involving the fusion of haploid female gamete (egg cell) and haploid male gamete (sperm cell). The fusion of these gametes occurs at fertilization resulting in the formation of a diploid zygote. ... Two major types of sexual reproduction are syngamy and conjugation.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females. ... Meiosis produces our sex cells or gametes? (eggs in females and sperm in males).
