Sexual
Reproduction
and
Meiosis

Chromosome Number
Organisms have a set number of
chromosomes specific to that species
Each body cell has a complete set of
those chromosomes

Diploid number
Number of chromosomes in body cells
of sexually reproducing organisms
2n =___

2n = 46

2n = 48

2n = 1400

Haploid number
 Number of chromosomes in sex cells,
gametes, of sexually reproducing
organisms
½ the diploid number of chromosomes
n=__
Human egg: n= 23
Human sperm n=23

2 haploid gametes produce a
diploid zygote upon fertilization
Egg n= 23

Sperm n=23

Fertilization

Zygote
2n=46

Homologous
Chromosomes
Paired chromosomes
Same size and shape

Genes for same traits
One came from egg,
one from sperm
