Introduction to Meiosis and Gamete Formation

The video explains sexual reproduction, focusing on the fusion of male and female gametes, which are haploid cells. It details the process of meiosis, where a diploid parent cell divides to form four haploid daughter cells, each genetically unique. The video also covers fertilization, which restores the diploid chromosome number, and mitosis, which helps in organism development. Key concepts include the difference between haploid and diploid cells, the stages of meiosis, and the role of fertilization in genetic diversity.

How do gametes contribute to genetic diversity?

What role does fertilization play in restoring the chromosome number?
