Reproduction, Inheritance & Ecology

16 min read

Sexual and asexual reproduction, chromosomes, genes and monohybrid inheritance, variation and natural selection, and food chains and the carbon cycle.

Reproduction

    Asexual — one parent, no gametes, offspring genetically identical (clones).
    Sexual — two parents, gametes fuse at fertilisation, offspring show variation.

In humans, sperm (from the testes) fertilise an egg (from the ovary) in the oviduct, forming a zygote that implants in the uterus. The placenta exchanges oxygen and glucose in, CO₂ and urea out.
