Sexual reproduction results in the formation of a new individual by two gametes uniting. Typically the gametes are a sperm and an egg. The sperm has the genetic information of the male, and the egg has the genetic information of the female. When the sperm joins with the egg, they are called a zygote and their genetic information combine via mitosis. At the end of mitosis, cytokinesis takes place, which is two daughter cells being formed that each have 46 chromosomes. Each new cell undergoes mitosis repeatedly until a new individual is formed. Sexual reproduction absolutely cannot take place without cell division.

Do mitosis happen in sexual reproduction?
noIt produces identical cells to mother cell. Meiosis is important in sexual reproduction
Why is meiosis important to process of sexual reproduction?
Meiosis results in haploid gametes, sperm and egg cells. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the resulting cell will be diploid, which is the condition of normal body cells.
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.
Can mitosis ever be used for reproduction?
Mitosis is used for the growth, repair, and asexual reproduction. It repairs damaged or old skin cells by replacing it by identical new skin cells. It also increases the mass of the plant root by producing more root cell through mitosis. It also produces two diploid cells that are diploid cells that are identical to each and parent cells.
The union of cells from two parents is called?
a new baby cell, aww its so cute, i love cells.
What does sexual reproduction mean?
When two diploid cells or sperm and egg cells meet.
Do mitosis happen in sexual reproduction?
noIt produces identical cells to mother cell. Meiosis is important in sexual reproduction
Is sexual reproduction in meiosis or mitosis?
meiosisMeiosis produce haploid cells. Mitosis produce diploid cells
Which comes first in the sexual reproduction in plants?
Meiosis or the dividing of diploid cells to for haploid "sex" cells or gametes
What is true about sexual reproduction?
Haploid cells formed by meiosis combine to produce a diploid cell.
Why is meiosis important to process of sexual reproduction?
Meiosis results in haploid gametes, sperm and egg cells. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the resulting cell will be diploid, which is the condition of normal body cells.
What is the importance of meiosis in sexual reproduction of flowering plants?
Meiois is the process in which diploid cells divide to become haploid gametes (or sex cells)
Summarize the difference between a haploid cell and a diploid cell?
A haploid cell contains half the total number of chromosomes. it is used during sexual reproduction to produce diploid cells.
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.
Why is meiosis important sexual reproduction?
Meiosis produces diverse haploid cells that combine during sexual reproduction, ideal for the theory of natural selection. It ensures that reduction division occurs so that when the gametes (haploids) form a zygote (diploid) it ends up having the original 46 chromosomes.
Why meiosis important in sexual reproduction?
It produces haploid daughter cells.
