Chapter 19, Problem 7CR
Summary Introduction
To review:
The accomplishment of genetic variability through sexual reproduction.
Introduction:
The process by which new individuals are formed sexually by combining male and female gametes is called sexual reproduction. Male gamete is sperm, whereas female gamete is ovum. The new organism formed consist of the genetic information from both the parents.
