In most sexual species, males produce far more gametes than do females.  Why does this occur when, in most cases, only one male gamete can fertilize one female gamete?

What would happen to the chromosome number in gametes and offspring if ​gametes were formed by the mitotic process instead of the meiotic process?

How many different gamete combinations can be produced from a Yy Ss Hh genotype?

11. What are the three types of asexual reproduction? 12. Define gamete and zygote. What number of chromosomes does each have? 13. Outline the phases of meiosis.

1. In the figure below, in generation 2 there are only two more child-producing individuals in the asexual population that in the sexual population. If the same two-fold difference in reproductive rates were continued, how many more child-producing individuals would there be in the asexual compared to sexual population of generation 5? Explain your calculation.
