Document Summary

A particular gene on the y chromosome induces the embryonic gonads to become testes. The embryonic testes secrete testosterone, which induces the development of male accessory sex organs and external genitalia. The absence of testes in a female embryo causes the development of the female accessory sex organs. The diversity in genetic constitution helps to ensure that some members of a population will survive changes in the environment over evolutionary time. In sexual reproduction, germ cells or gametes (sperm and ova), are formed within the gonads by a process of reduction division, or meiosis. During this type of cell division, the normal number of chromosomes in human cells - 46 is halved, so that each gamete receives 23 chromosomes. Fusion of a sperm cell and ovum in the act of fertilization results in restoration of the original chromosome number of 46 in the zygote, or fertilized egg.
