Question
Chapter 16.2, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The relationship between sexual reproduction and homologous chromosomes.
Introduction: Sexual reproduction is the process of producing a living organism by combining genetic information from two separate organisms such as one male and one female. In this type of reproduction, both the parents synthesize a haploid cell that contains a single set of the chromosome and these haploid cells fuse with each other to form a diploid cell. This type of reproduction is importance fo promoting variations in the genetic material of the population.
