Using specific events in the formation of gametes and zygotes, describe why there is a greater diversity in sexual reproduction than in asexual reproduction.

Question

Summarize this and you'll be fine. 

The cells involved in sexual reproduction, called gametes, contain half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells. These haploid cells contain a single set of chromosomes to pass on to their offspring. The process for producing gametes, meiosis, reduces the diploid number of chromosomes by half to produce haploid sperm and egg cells. The haploid number (abbreviated n) for a human is 23.This means 23 chromosomes are in the male sperm and 23 chromosomes are in the female ova. Through sexual reproduction, haploid cells from each parent fuse together in a process called fertilization. The union of these gametes forms a diploid zygote.

The cells involved in sexual reproduction are called gametes. The gametes contain half the number of chromosomes as the diploid cells. The haploid cells contain a single set of chromosomes to pass onto there offspring.The process for producing gametes is meiosis. Meiosis reduces the diploid number of chromosomes by half to produce haploid sperm and egg cells. The haploid number,abbreviated to (N) for a human is 23. Which means 23 chromosomes are in the male sperm and 23 chromosomes are in the female ovaries. Through sexual reproduction, haploid cells from each parent fuse together through a process called fertilization. The union of the gametes form a diploid zygote.


This is what I had ^
And she said:What happens during meiosis that makes each gamete from an individual somewhat different?

Thats what I need help with sorry guys, my cousin needed me for something...

psirockin2 · Answer

Meiosis dividing the stuff in half makes each one somewhat different
