Document Summary

Hey guys read about the jh20 hormones in the textbook. I remember him mentioning it somewhere but apparently i haven"t typed it. Don"t worry though, i typed the rest of what he said. In many cases the females and males uses the same hormones. Look for the links between the male and the females. In many cases the hormones are the same used in male and the female. Every living organism reproduces through a reproductive process. No other physiological system in our bodies are significantly different than this system. This is essential for carrying on of species. There are two sex cells: egg and sperm. New organism looks different from parents because of recombination . Genomic variation can be generated at three levels. In organisms such as us, who have diploid cells and 23 pairs of chromosomes we have 8 million possibilities of genetically different gametes in a single individual. Also recombination can create hybrids of maternal and paternal chromosomes.
