Document Summary
Once meiosis i is completed, cells are haploid. Asexual reproduction _____. produces offspring genetically identical to the parent. Only one individual makes a genetic contribution to the offspring. Human somatic cells contain 22 pairs of autosomes and either two x chromosomes (in females) or an x and a y chromosome (in males). Which is the smallest unit containing the entire human genome? one human somatic cell. In alternation of generations, what is the diploid stage of a plant that follows fertilization called? sporophyte. The sporophyte is the diploid, multicellular stage of the plant that produces haploid spores by meiosis. Homologous chromosomes contain the same gene loci but may have different alleles of a particular gene. Sister chromatids are identical copies of each other produced during dna replication. In sexual reproduction, individuals transmit 50% of their genes to each of their offspring. At sexual maturity, ovaries and testes produce diploid gametes by meiosis.
