Document Summary

Offspring acquire genes from parents by inheriting chromosomes (pp. 267 268: each gene in an organism"s dna exists at a specific locus on a certain chromosome. In asexual reproduction, a single parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis. Sexual reproduction combines sets of genes from two parents, leading to genetically diverse offspring. Fertilization and meiosis alternate in sexual life cycles (pp. 268 271: normal human somatic cells are diploid. They have 46 chromosomes made up of two sets of 23 one set from each parent. In human diploid cells, there are 22 homologous pairs of autosomes, each with a maternal and a paternal homologue. The 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, determines whether the person is female (xx) or male (xy). In humans, ovaries and testes produce haploid gametes by meiosis, each gamete containing a single set of 23 chromosomes (n= 23). Meiosis reduces the number of chromosome sets from diploid to haploid (pp.
