How is the correct number of chromosomes maintained during sexual reproduction?
by doing it
Where does an organics produced by sexual reproduction get its chromosomes from?
In sexual reproduction, an organism inherits its chromosomes from both parents. Each parent contributes half of the total number of chromosomes required for the offspring. These chromosomes contain the genetic information necessary for the development and characteristics of the organism.
What is required for cell sexual reproduction?
chromosomes?
What is sexual and asexual propagation?
sexual reproduction involves the production of gametes ie with half of the number of chromosomes of the corresponding species.asexual reproduction does not involves the production of gametes,it occurs by fission and fragmentation.
What is the Genetic material for SEXUAL REPRODUCTION?
chromosomes which cotains strands of DNA( deoxynucleic acid, I might be little off on it) and RNA.
Is the presence of large number of chromosomes in an organism a hindrance to sexual reproduction?
No. Sexual reproduction process does not depend upon the number of chromosomes in an organism. Chromosome numbers usually are expressed in sets. 2 sets of chromosomes are present in body cells of organisms. For example, human bears 23 pairs which means 46 numbers of chromosomes. The cells with 2 sets of chromosomes are called diploid cells (2n) and haploid cells contain only one set (n) of chromosomes. Gamete cells are always haploid which are obtained by meiosis cell division of diploid cells. In sexual reproduction fusion of two haploid gametes (male and female) results in formation of zygote which id diploid.So, the number of chromosomes present ina cell whether it is small (cat - 38 chromosomes) or large (butterfly- 380 chromosomes) does not affect sexual reproduction.
Each parent donated 23 of what in sexual reproduction?
Chromosomes!
What gets passed from cell to cell in sexual reproduction?
chromosomes
How do genes and chromosomes behave during meiosis and sexual reproduction?
Badly
What is the type of reproduction that produces a new organism with identical chromosomes of those of the parent organism?
It is sexual reproduction
Why does meiosis produced cells with fewer chromosomes?
Sexual reproduction joins two cells that each have half the total chromosome number.
