How does the chromosome content of a parent cell compare with that of a gamete?
A parent cell is diploid, meaning it has two sets of chromosomes. In contrast, a gamete is haploid, containing only one set of chromosomes. This difference in chromosome content is important for maintaining the correct number of chromosomes in the offspring when the gametes combine during fertilization.
Are gametes produced in meiosis identical to each other but different from parent cell?
No. Each gamete is genetically different from the other gametes and from the parent cell.
What is The process of one gamete sex cell joining another?
The process of one gamete sex cell joining another is called fertilization. During fertilization, a sperm cell from the male fuses with an egg cell from the female, resulting in the formation of a zygote. This zygote contains a complete set of chromosomes, half from each parent, and marks the beginning of embryonic development. Fertilization can occur internally or externally, depending on the species.
How does a zygote relate to meiosis?
A gamete is also known as a "sex cell". These are the egg and the sperm. Zygotes are fertilised eggs. This means that when the female gamete is fertilised by the male gamete, it forms a zygote.
Can a gamete develop into a complete plant by itself without fertilization?
Yes, a gamete can develop into a complete plant without fertilization in a process known as apomixis. This asexual reproduction allows certain plants to produce seeds that are genetically identical to the parent plant without the need for fertilization. Some species, particularly in the flowering plants, have adapted this mechanism to ensure reproduction in stable environments. However, this is not common to all plants and typically occurs in specific taxa.
What is gamete for heredity?
if you are asking what one is, a gamete is a sex cell that has half the number the number of chromosomes from one parent. during fertilization, two gamete(one from each parent) combine. they are formed during meiosis.
What gamete can be made of BB?
A gamete containing a BB genotype will carry one B allele from each parent. This gamete will contribute one B allele to offspring during fertilization.
Why can plants vary from the plant parent?
Due to genetic recombination during gamete formation by meiosis and fusion of such gametes during fertilization.
How does the chromosome content of a parent cell compare with that of a gamete?
A parent cell is diploid, meaning it has two sets of chromosomes. In contrast, a gamete is haploid, containing only one set of chromosomes. This difference in chromosome content is important for maintaining the correct number of chromosomes in the offspring when the gametes combine during fertilization.
Are gametes produced in meiosis identical to each other but different from parent cell?
No. Each gamete is genetically different from the other gametes and from the parent cell.
Can all the gene pairs from one parent can congregate in one gamete and those from the other parent in the other gamete?
Yes, during meiosis, the process that produces gametes, homologous chromosomes from each parent segregate into different gametes in order to maintain genetic diversity in offspring. This means that gene pairs from one parent will not congregate in the same gamete.
What is The process of one gamete sex cell joining another?
The process of one gamete sex cell joining another is called fertilization.

Why do gamete contain less chromosome than parent cells?
The gamete is supposed to join with another gamete, and combine their chromosomes into a single cell.
How does meiosis help genetic?
Meiosis is the division of the sex cells (sperm and egg). Meiosis produces gametes with one half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. A female gamete and male gamete will then undergo fertilization and create a zygote. (not limited to just humans, meiosis occurs in sexually reproducing organisms).
Which parent's gamete decides the gender of a child?
The Father's.
