About this document
Meiosis and Fertilization in Mosses by sgw67 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Meiosis and sexual reproduction involve the joining and halving of chromosomes. During meiosis, gametes like eggs and sperm are produced that have half the normal number of chromosomes through two rounds of cell division. When a sperm and egg fuse during fertilization, the normal chromosome number is restored, with one set of each chromosome type coming from each parent. Sexual reproduction ensures genetic variation by mixing the chromosomes from two individuals.
