2.7 Describe how the process of meiosis results in the formation of haplold cells. Explain the importance of this process in sexual reproduction, and how
gametes form diploid zygotes in the process of fertilization.
4.6 Recognize that the sexual reproductive system allows organisms to produce
Offspring that receive half of their genetic information from their mother and
half from their father, and that sexually produced offspring resemble, but are
not identical to, either of their parents.
