Two types of sexually reproducing eukaryotes

1. Somatic cells


2. Sex cells

Body cells ex. Skin cells

Somatic cells

Gametes and germline

Sex cells

Refers to the number of sets of chromosomes in cells

Ploidy

One copy of each chromosome, designated as "n", gametes

Haploid

Two sets of chromosomes, designated as "2n", somatic cells

Diploid

These organisms receive one of each type of chromosome from the female parent (X or X) and one of each type of chromosome from the male parent (X or Y)

Diploid

Female parent

Maternal chromosome

Male parent
