Fertilization is an essential process in sexual reproduction. It fuses the gametes thus restoring the chromosomes number specific for the species.there are two types of fertilization,external and internal.
A quick warm up
1- Define fertilization.
The fusion or the union of sperm nucleus and an egg nucleus.
2- What is the importance of fertilization in sexual reproduction.?
It restores the chromosome # characteristic of the species.
We Will follow the development of a fertilized egg from a zygote to a baby. It’s fascinating to see how a single cell develops and grows into a complete baby.
check your vocabulary through these introductory questions and follow the power point presentation to check your understanding of the process of development
How Does A Zygote develop into An Embryo?
Define the term embryonic development.
The changes from a zygote to a baby.
What will happen to the zygote after fertilization?
It undergoes the process of cleavage.
What is the end result of cleavage?
A ball of cells called a morula is formed,then changed into a blastula.
Sexual reproduction:
Involves two parents.
Results in offspring that are different from either parent.
The genetic variation is due to recombination of chromosomes.
This process involves the fusion of two gametes nuclei (egg& sperm).
Fusion of the sex cell nuclei occurs during fertilization forming the zygote.

Facts about meiosis.
Meiosis involves two cell division.
It produces cells that are different from the parent cell. Each cell has .one-half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Meiosis takes place during sexual reproduction, producing sex cells ( eggs & sperms ).
It takes place in the sex organs (ovaries & testes)
Let us explore how meiosis happens.
