How does the production of sperm differ from the production of eggs? a. Sperm production involves meiosis, whereas egg production involves only mitosis. b. Meiosis during sperm production produces four sperm cells, whereas meiosis during egg production produces only one functional egg cell. c. Sperm are haploid, whereas eggs are diploid. d. Sperm production begins during fetal development, whereas the meiotic process that begins egg production doesn’t begin until puberty
What is a likely evolutionary advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction? a. Sexual reproduction involves fewer steps. b. There is a lower chance of using up the resources in a given environment. c. Sexual reproduction results in variation in the offspring. d. Sexual reproduction is more cost-effective.
Is this true or false?
a. Fertilization is followed by a cleavage, a period of rapid cell division without growth.
b. From the process above, this results in the production of a large number of cells called blastomeres.
c. In sexual reproduction, the offspring have the same combinations of genes as their parents.
d. Sequential hermaphroditism occurs when an animal is one sex during one phase of its lifecycle and the opposite sex during another phase
