3.1 Sexual and Asexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction
1. organism that show sexual reproduction show sexes, which we can define as male and female
2.they manufacture cells named gametes which take the form in a male as a sperm cell. In the female it takes shape as a egg.
plant ---> sperm cell is called pollen grain
---> egg cell is called ovule
3. the cell division that produces gametes is called meiosis
affect of meiosis is half the total of adult chromosones in the gamete cell.
Humans ---> total number of chromosones in cells is 46
in gametes the total number is 23 and from going to 46 to 23 is happening by the process called meiosis.
4. in sexual reproducing population there is the process called fertilisation, this is when the gametes cell of the male and female fuse together.
5.in the population we find variation (difference), which is broad



asexual reproduction 
1. asexual reproduction have no sexes
2. populations have no gametes
3. no meiosos but there is mitosis in nucaritotic cells and binary fission
in these cells the chromosones remain constantly
4. there are no gametes there is no cell fusing
5.this population shows small amount of variation due to muatation
and if they are identical know as a clone
