Human<br />

<strong>Reproduction</strong><br />

KEY IDEAS<br />

Male and female humans<br />

have specialized organs to<br />

produce gametes and to<br />

ensure fertilization.<br />

It takes nine months for a<br />

human to develop from a<br />

zygote into a baby.<br />

Sex chromosomes determine<br />

the gender of the offspring.<br />

Errors in meiosis can result in<br />

changes to both the gametes<br />

and the offspring.<br />

Scientists have developed<br />

technologies that can identify<br />

potential problems and<br />

allow humans to produce<br />

offspring successfully.<br />
