What happens to Gametes at Fertilisation?
Fertilisation is the process where sperm (from the male) and the ovum (from the female) fuse together to form the zygote. Each gamete contains 23 chromosomes which combine together, in the zygote, to combine to a full set of 46 chromosomes – half from the father and half from the mother.. Summed up, it is where the male gamete and a female gamete join. The fusion of gametes enables the genetic information to mix.
Proteins found in the Human Body
Enzymes – they are proteins which catalyse chemical reactions. They contain a lock-and-key mechanism which makes them highly specific to certain substrates. Each enzyme accelerates only one …show more content…
Meiosis is a type of cell which produces male and female gametes in plants and animals. A ‘cell’ contains 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs. However, gametes are sperm or eggs, and only contain half as many chromosomes.
Process by which new cells are made
The process by which new cells are made is called mitosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division where one cell splits up into two new identical cells. Before a cell can divide it has produce copies of other organelles such as ribosome and mitochondria, as well as another nucleus and 46 more chromosomes. During mitosis the copies of chromosomes separate and the entire cell divides into two. One organelle which would need to be copied

Which organelles are copied during mitosis in plants and animals?
One organelle that would need to be copied in plants would be chloroplasts.
One organelle that would need to be copied in humans would be mitochondria.
How many genes are required to make each protein
A gene is a section of DNA that codes for a particular protein.
