What effects does union of haploids in fertilization have on genetic diversity?

Fertilization is random and the haploids are male and female gametes, sperm and eggs. So, genetic diversity is enhanced greatly because random fertilization comes after the independent orientation of male and female chromosomes plus crossing over in meiosis. So, statistically speaking, there are myriad variations that can come out of haploid random fertilization and so great genetic diversity is also enhanced here.

What are two ways that sexual reproduction helps create and and maintain genetic diversity?
Sexual reproduction helps create and maintain genetic diversity by: # The independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis. # The random fertilization of gametes.
What is the ultimate souce of genetic variation and the basis for the diversity of life on earth?
Interchange of genetic material during meiosis and random union of male nad female gametes during fertilization.
What is the function of fertilization?
Enzyme to penetrate outer layer of egg.
How is genetic diversity to beneficial to a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
How is genetic diversity beneficial to species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
How does the process of fertilization act to increase genetic diversity within a population?
Random fertilization. All the eggs and sperm produced are variations due to crossing over alone, not even considering other processes. The meet and fertilization occurs randomly insuring a good mix of genetic variation. Thus, genetic diversity.
When sex cells randomly combine during fertilization to produce offspring there is?
increase genetic diversity

What is the difference between self fertilization and cross fertilization?
welll because one is a producation but the other one isn't and the growth and how it grow at the botom of all top so it is werid Self-fertilization and cross-fertilization are the same as asexual and sexual reproduction. Self-fertilization uses itself to fertilize, which cross-fertilization takes from another plant to make a new generation of the plant.
What is the significant role played by fertilization?
Fertilization of the ovum (female gamete) by the sperm (male gamete) is when two different genetic lines (the mother and the father) are combined. This is significant because this is a major source of genetic diversity within species that have defined male and female genders.
