Many of the egg cells do not get fertilized by sperm, some may not survive due to external factors, and others may not develop properly. Only a small percentage of the egg cells that are fertilized and develop into embryos will successfully hatch and grow into bullfrog offspring.
What else can I help you with?
Will a mutation that occurs in a skin cell be passed on to organism offspring?
No, mutations that occur in skin cells are not passed on to organism offspring because they are not present in the germ cells (sperm or egg cells) that are involved in reproduction. Only mutations in the germ cells can be passed on to offspring.
What would happen if meiosis did not occur to produce sex cells?
If meiosis did not occur to produce sex cells, there would be no genetic diversity in offspring. Sex cells are the result of meiosis, which shuffles genetic material, leading to unique combinations of genes in offspring. Without meiosis, there would be no variation in the genetic makeup of individuals, potentially leading to decreased adaptability and increased vulnerability to environmental challenges.
Why do cells go through meiosis?
Cells go through meiosis to produce gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, ensuring genetic diversity and the ability to create offspring with unique combinations of traits.
Which mutation in a fruit fly could be passed on to its offspring?
A mutation in the fruit fly's germline cells, such as sperm or egg cells, can be passed on to its offspring. These mutations occur in the DNA sequence of the germline cells and can be inherited by the next generation. Somatic mutations, which occur in the non-reproductive cells of the fruit fly, are not passed on to offspring.
Which cells in the human body are the only ones that pass on DNA to an offspring?
The only cells in the human body that pass on DNA to an offspring are the reproductive cells, specifically the sperm cells in males and the egg cells in females.
What type of cells does the reproductive system produce?
TO PRODUCE SEX CELLS involved in the production of offspring
Why must sex cells divide twice?
So they can produce healthy offspring.
When sex cells randomly combine during fertilization to produce offspring there is?
increase genetic diversity
When sex cells combine to produce offspring sex cell will contribute what?
Half the number of chromosomes in body cells😜😘
When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell contributes?
Half the number of chromosomes in body cells😜😘
When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell will contribute how many chromosomes?
a baby
Describes reproduction in which the sex cells from two parents unite the produce offspring?
sexual. sexual reproduction.
Will a mutation that occurs in a skin cell be passed on to organism offspring?
No, mutations that occur in skin cells are not passed on to organism offspring because they are not present in the germ cells (sperm or egg cells) that are involved in reproduction. Only mutations in the germ cells can be passed on to offspring.
The purpose of meiosis is to?
Produce cells that contain the haploid number of chromosomes.
Does a bullfrog have cells?
Yes! All living organisms have cells. Cells make up each and every individual organism there is living.
When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell will contribute what?
Each sex cell will contribute half of the genetic material needed to produce offspring. The egg from the female will contribute one set of chromosomes, while the sperm from the male will contribute the other set. These combined chromosomes will determine the genetic traits of the offspring.
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.
