Document Summary

Reproduction: the process by which plants and animals give rise to offspring. Offspring are genetically identical to the parent and are called clones. Gametes are mature sexual reproductive cells: egg or sperm. Gametes are formed by special nuclear divisions called meiosis. Meiosis consists of two nuclear divisions but only one round of dna replication. The organism is diploid and the gametes are haploid. Both gametes unite and their nuclei fuse to one diploid nucleus (zygote). Arrows point to cen from a human cell in metaphase, stained coloured dye. irs have similar colours and can be sorted centromeres (=joining region of sister wing. Humans have 23 pa chromosomes (gree right panel showing. A process in which a parent cell divides to produce cells with half the genetic material of the parent. The series of events during meiosis are highly organised. Meiosis consists of two nuclear divisions (meiosis 1 and meiosis 2) but dna replication occur only once.
