Diploid

  • Diploid = full set of chromosomes

  • Chromosomes = smaller chunks of DNA

8

Diploid in Organisms You Know

  • Diploid in dogs = 78 chromosomes

  • Diploid in humans = 46 chromosomes

  • Diploic in chimpanzees = 48 chromosomes

9

Why Asexual Reproduction Doesn't Require Sex

A diploid cell creates two new diploid cells - all cells have the full DNA after division.

How is Sexual Reproduction Different from Asexual Reproduction?

Slide image

13


There are 2 divisions

There are 4 daughter cells

The daughter cells are haploid = half the DNA

Diploid vs Haploid

  • Diploid = full set of chromosomes

  • Haploid = a half set of chromosomes

15

Haploid in Organisms You Know

  • If Diploid in dogs = 78 chromosomes the haploid =

  • If Diploid in humans = 46 chromosomes, the haploid =

  • Diploic in chimpanzees = 48 chromosomes, the haploid =

16

Gametes

Haploid cells are called gametes.

In males, they are called sperm.

In females, they are called eggs.

Why does sexual reproduction require sex?

The daughter cells are haploid = half the DNA


Fertilization is needed to combine two haploid cells to make a new diploid cell.
