We'll use humans as an example since it's simple and relevant.
All healthy humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs of very similar chromosomes). When gametes are formed in meiosis, this number is halved, such that sperm and ovum have only 23 chromosomes (just one of each pair). When these gametes meet and fuse as a result of sexual reproduction, the 23 chromosomes from the ovum and the 23 chromosomes from the sperm combine to form the full set of 46.
Sometimes meiosis doesn't quite work perfectly, though. Downs Syndrome is an example of this (one gamete has both copies of chromosome 21, so after fusion with the other gamete there are 3 chromosome 21s!).

Afina-wow [57]
Environmental scientists are using GPS ( It is effective but expensive) aerial monitoring (Quick but not the easiest), RFID tags, (mostly for long-term monitoring) and hidden cameras are used to study polar bear behavior without interruption to their environment.

Integrated science<br>plant reproduction​
Pie

Flowering plants reproduce sexually through a process called pollination. The flowers contain male sex organs called stamens and female sex organs called pistils. Cross-pollination happens when the wind or animals move pollen from one plant to fertilize the ovules on a different plant.

Scientists studied reproduction in the New Zealand mud snail to answer the question, “Are there benefits to reproducing sexually
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation.

Explanation:

The main advantage of sexual reproduction is that it increases the genetic variation in the species by creating new combinations of alleles.

However, asexual reproduction produces more offspring, as it is usually a quicker method of reproduction. It also does not require the organisms to socialise to mate.

Sexual reproduction does not reduce the rate of mutation, which is influenced by environmental factors as well as the genome itself.
