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.

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.

When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell will contribute how many chromosomes in body cells?

Each sex cell contributes half the number of chromosomes compared to body cells during fertilization. This results in the offspring having the full set of chromosomes, one set from each parent, which is essential for normal development and growth.

Male and female reproductive cells combine to form offspring with genetic material from both cells?

Yes.


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.


Why must sex cells divide twice?

So they can produce healthy offspring.


Body cell mutations cannot be passed on to offspring. This is because body cells do not contribute genetic material to?

reproductive cells. Only mutations in germ cells, which are responsible for passing genetic information to offspring, can be inherited.
