Reproduction
Question 1 of 4
Gametes are needed for human sexual reproduction.
Name the two human gametes.
Name and describe the type of cell division that produces gametes.
Which process results in the production of a zygote?
State the number of chromosomes in:
A human skin cell.
A human gamete.
A human zygote.
In sexual reproduction, a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell to form a new zygote.
The zygote undergoes cell division and develops into an embryo.
What type of cell division produces an embryo from a zygote?
How many cells are there in the embryo after 5 cell divisions?
The diagram shows how the mass of DNA (m) changed during cell division in one cell.

Name the type of cell division taking place in this cell.
The diagram shows the nucleus of the cell at the start of this type of cell division.

Name structure A.
Before this type of cell division can happen, the DNA in the nucleus is duplicated.
The nucleus then divides twice to form four nuclei.
Complete the diagram below to show the appearance of the nucleus of one of the four daughter cells.
Mitosis and meiosis are two different types of cell division.
Compare these two types of cell division.
