Gametes are individual DNA strands that all have a pair. In a human, the male has 23 in each sperm cell, and the woman has 23 in each egg cell.
When the sperm and egg cell combine, the gametes combine and form matching pairs (not genetically identical) and then a zygote forms. The gametes are what makes up the genetical information of the zygote, which will eventualy grow inot a newborn. These gametes confirm what gender the baby will be, what they will look like ect.
These gametes can also pass on disease - for example, a gamete with a mutation that causes down's syndrome.

What two cells join in sexual reproduction?
An egg cell and a sperm cell.
What creates a variety in the offspring?
Genetic recombination during crossing over in prophase I of meiosis.
When traits do not appear according to the expected ratio in offspring what may have occured?
crossing over
What passes on traits to offspring?
What passes traits to it's offspring is the dominant genes that over power the non dominant genes. Whether there are more dominant genes also depends a lot on who the other mate is.
What happenswhen a species over produce offspring?
The population will diminish. Extinction will occur if insufficient reproduction continues long enough.
Meiosis occurs only in the formation of?
gamates
Which type of cellular division forms gamates?
Meiosis
Why yeast is reproduce by budding?
because when two gamates will be damage it will be testes and penish.

46 chromosomes in somatic cells and 23 in gamates
