Best Answer

The sex cell for a woman is called the ovum(egg) and the cell for a man is called the sperm. Each sex cell contains half a strand of DNA(one chromozome). The two chromozomes combine to make a full set of DNA. XXchromozomes=girl. XYchromozomes=boy. The sperm's chromozome determines what gender the baby will be because females only have X and males have both X and Y.

Why do organisms that produce sexually not have genetically identical offspring?

Unlike asexual reproduction, two different cells are needed, that are haploid cells, for sexual reproduction. These haploid cells are gametes, and allow half of the maternal cell and half of the paternal cell to combine and produce a unique offspring. This combination also allows crossing over to occur and produce even more of a variation from the parents.

Each will contribute the diploid number 23 so the resulting zygote will ahve the full 46 necessary chromosomes.This assumes you are discussing humans.


What is the definition for reproduction?

Sexual reproduction is the production of an offspring that results when the genetic materials from two different cells combine.
