Question

meiosis
in ______ reproducing organisms, meiosis
produces ____ daughter cells that contain half
the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
in females, meiosis leads to ______ cells and
______ cells in males. when these sex cells combine
during __________, the chromosome number of
the resulting zygote will double, the same as the
number found in the organisms body cells.
fill in
the blanks...
egg
sperm
2
4
fertilization
asexually
sexually

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms. It results in the formation of gametes (sex cells). In females, the gamete is the egg, and in males, it is the sperm. Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells (gametes) that have half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. When an egg and a sperm combine during fertilization, the chromosome number is restored to the diploid (full) number, which is the same as in the organism's body cells.

Answer:

sexually, 4, egg, sperm, fertilization
