Process in which two cells, termed gametes, come together to form one fertilized cell that contains genetic information from both parental cells.
In biology, this is just the idea that a child gets its genetic material from each of two parents. We're used to the idea that one parent is "male" and one is "female", and that the two kinds of parent look different. But that's not actually required. With snails, and with trees, one individual can simultaneously be both male and female. So, a species with sexual reproduction may or may not have sexes.
Production of offspring by combining the genetic material from two individuals of the same species.
The reproduction of plants through a sexual process involving cell division.
A type of reproduction that involves the union of two cells. The offspring from this type of reproduction have a unique combination of genes.
The process of creating a genetically unique individual by the fusion of two gamete cells during fertilisation. In order to reach this stage, there may be many other behaviours involved (courtship, ritual feeding and so on) and specialised structures used (display feathers, antlers, flowers). Sexual reproduction allows for a degree of genetic reshuffling from one generation to the next; the gametes are produced by meiosis which mixes up the parental genes a bit, and then two random gametes fuse, bringing unique combinations of genes together. This genetic variation is what natural selection acts upon.
Replication of a diploid organism after combination of haploid male and female gametes, each of which has been produced through the process of meiosis, thus assuring a reassortment of the alleles present among the two parents, in the form of a new, unique, individual genome. Preserved with in vitro fertilisation despite the absence of sexual intercourse. The opposite to cloning.
A method of reproduction that involves two gametes (1N) that fuse to produce a zygote (2N).
Reproduction in organisms that produce offspring by combining sex cells, or gametes (such as ovum and sperm), from both parents. This produces offspring that have combinations of traits from their parents. Compare asexual reproduction.
This occurs only in flowers where the genetic material of the plant is divided between the male and female sex cells that then recombine to form a seed.
reproduction involving the union or fusion of a male and a female gamete
Reproduction involving the union of gametes.
Reproduction involving the cells of a single parent
reproduction by the union of two haploid sex cells
the process where two cells (gametes) fuse to form one hybrid, fertilized cell.
A natural process by which some plants and anhnals produce offspring as a result of the production of eggs and the fertilization from another plant or animal. shallow - water that is not deep.
A system of reproduction in which two haploid sex cells ( gametes) fuse to produce a diploid zygote. PICTURE
Sexual reproduction is a biological process by which organisms create descendants through the combination of genetic material.
reproduction in which gametes (generally from a male and a female) fuse to form a cell that develops into a new individual; gametes may come from one individual (hermaphrodite) or from separate male and female organisms
producing new genetic individuals through the combination of genes from two individuals; in algae, plants, animals, by fertilization (the fusion of eggs and sperms).
production of new generations involving the exchange of chromosomes from both a male and female parent.
A type of reproduction in which two parents give rise to offspring that have unique combinations of genes inherited through the gametes of the two parents. Sexual reproduction involves meiosis and syngamy.
Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that results in increasing genetic diversity of the offspring. It is characterized by two processes: meiosis, involving the halving of the number of chromosomes; and fertilization, involving the fusion of two gametes and the restoration of the original number of chromosomes. During meiosis, the chromosomes of each pair usually cross over to achieve genetic recombination.
