How do meiosis and sexual reproduction fertilization produce offspring that differ genetically from the parents?
Wiki User
∙ 16y ago
Meiosis maintains genetic diversity in two ways:
1) Genetic recombination: the exchange of genetic material between sister chromatids
2) By random assortment of paternal and maternal chromosomes and the alleles of genes they contain.

What is the end result of Meiosis?
sexual reproduction offspring
Which statement describes offspring produced by sexual reproduction?
A. It needs just one parent B. The offspring are always genetically identical. C. The offspring are not identical to the parents.
Is a diploid organism formed in the fertilization or meiosis during sexual reproduction?
Any cell that forms by meiosis (sexual reproduction) is going to be haploid, half the number of chromosomes. Fertilization brings together these two haploid cells that were produced by meiosis and produces on diploid cell, a zygote.
What is apomixis?
An apomixis is an instance of plant reproduction without fertilization, meiosis, or the production of gametes.
The sorting and recombining of genes during meiosis and fertilization usually leads to the production of?
4 genetically different daughter cells
Which type of reproduction involves meiosis and creates offspring that are genetically unique?
Sexual reproduction.
What is the end result of Meiosis?
sexual reproduction offspring
Reproduction that results from meiosis followed by fertilization of the egg by the sperm?
sexual
What is the role of meiosis to sexual reproduction?
Meiosis produces daughter cells with half the genetic material of normal cells. This means that when the gametes from each parent meet, the resulting offspring will once again have the correct number of chromosomes. Meiosis allows half of the chromosomes come from each parent - which is vital for sexual reproduction.
Which statement describes offspring produced by sexual reproduction?
A. It needs just one parent B. The offspring are always genetically identical. C. The offspring are not identical to the parents.
Why is fertilization dependenton meiosis?
Meiosis makes each new cell genetically unique in terms of DNA. This ensures that the offspring of the organism is also genetically unique as the two gametes (sex cells) combine together to give the cell a full set of chromosomes that the cell needs to divide/multiply into a new life.
Is a diploid organism formed in the fertilization or meiosis during sexual reproduction?
Any cell that forms by meiosis (sexual reproduction) is going to be haploid, half the number of chromosomes. Fertilization brings together these two haploid cells that were produced by meiosis and produces on diploid cell, a zygote.
What is the relationship between meiosis and fertilization?
Meiosis is the replication of sexual gametes. The gametes are produced during meiosis and are used to fertilize other gametes in reproduction.
What is apomixis?
An apomixis is an instance of plant reproduction without fertilization, meiosis, or the production of gametes.
What results in the most diverse offspring?
Sexual reproduction leads to variety in offspring.
Whyis mitosis a form of asexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction is when the resulting cells/organisms are genetically different from the parent cells/organisms. Asexual reproduction is when the resulting cells/organisms are genetically identical to the parent cells/organisms. Mitosis is the division of one nucleus into 2 genetically identical nuclei. Thus, it is asexual reproduction. On the other hand, meiosis results in 4 genetically different daughter cells. Thus, meiosis is an example of sexual reproduction.
What type of fertilization requires two sex cells?
Well, I know that the style of reproduction is meiosis. Not sure about the type of fertilization. Answer:Fertilization or the answer may be sexual
