Sexual and Asexual reproduction

• What are the two types of reproduction discussed?

  Sexual and asexual reproduction
• How many pairs of chromosomes do human cells contain?

  23 pairs of chromosomes
• What process do cells undergo to divide into two identical cells?

  Mitosis
• What are gametes in humans?

  Sperm cells and egg cells
• How many chromosomes do human gametes contain?

  23 single chromosomes
• What type of cell division produces gametes?

  Meiosis
• How do gametes differ from somatic cells?

  Gametes have single chromosomes
• What is a key difference between mitosis and meiosis?

  Mitosis produces identical cells, meiosis does not
• What is fertilization in sexual reproduction?

  Fusion of male and female gametes
• What does sexual reproduction lead to in offspring?

  Variation due to genetic mixing
• What is a key characteristic of asexual reproduction?

  Only one parent is involved
• What are the offspring of asexual reproduction called?

  Clones
• What type of cell division occurs in asexual reproduction?

  Mitosis
• How does the plant reproduce asexually as shown in the video?

  By forming tiny buds that grow into new plants
• What are the main features of sexual reproduction?

  • Involves fusion of male and female gametes
  • Genetic information mixing occurs
  • Offspring show variation
• What are the main features of asexual reproduction?

  • Involves only one parent
  • No gametes are involved
  • Offspring are genetically identical (clones)
• What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

  • Mitosis: produces identical cells
  • Meiosis: produces non-identical gametes
• What types of gametes are produced in flowering plants?

  • Pollen (male gamete)
  • Egg cells (female gamete)
• What is the significance of genetic variation in sexual reproduction?

  • Leads to diverse traits in offspring
  • Enhances adaptability and survival
