New individuals of a species are created by mixing genetic material from two parents in process called sexual reproduction
What is sexual reproduction?
It is the creation of a new organism by combining the genetic material of two organisms.
- As both parents contribute half of the new organism's genetic material, offspring will have traits of both parents, but will not be exactly like either parent.
- The gametes have an haploid genome (with a single set of chromosomes, product of a meiotic division) and combines with one another to produce zygote (diploid).
- Organisms that reproduce sexually by joining gametes, process known as fertilization, must have a mechanism to produce haploid gametes.
