Introduction. Meiosis, the form of cell division unique to egg and sperm production, sets the stage for sex determination by creating sperm that carry either an X or a Y sex chromosome.his means that when the chromosomes of egg and sperm cells combine at fertilization, the embryo regains the normal diploid number. Meiosis mixes up the parental genes in two ways. First, the members of each chromosome pair come together and swap segments in a process known as crossing over, or recombination.
MAIN IDEA: Body cells are diploid; gametes are haploid. 11. What happens to the nuclei of the egg and sperm during fertilization? 12. What type of cells are haploid? 13. What is the haploid chromosome number in humans? 14. How many autosomes are present in each human gamete? How many sex chromosomes? 15. Complete the following table to summarize the differences between mitosis and meiosis. Use Figure 6.2 to help you. Mitosis Meiosis Makes diploid cells Makes genetically unique cells Happens throughout lifetime Involved in sexual reproduction Vocabulary Check 16. What are homologous chromosomes? 17. The word soma means âbody.â
