E N D
________ are sex cells. • Gametes
The daughter cells produced at the end of meiosis II are considered- diploid or haploid? • Haploid
What is the genetic relationship of daughter cells to each other in meiosis? • Genetically DIFFERENT!
_______ is the female gamete. • Egg cell
___________ are the paired chromosomes that have genes for the same traits arranged in the same order. • Homologous chromosomes
_________ is the process of joining gametes. • Fertilization
____________ is a cell containing 2 sets of chromosomes. • Diploid
Is the number of chromosomes related to the complexity of an organism? WHY? • NO! • A dog has 78 chromosomes and is less complex than humans
_______ is a two stage type of cell division that creates gametes. • Meiosis
At the end of meiosis II, how many (human) chromosomes does each daughter cell have? • 23
The daughter cells produced at the end of MITOSIS are considered- haploid or diploid? • Diploid
__________ are all cells other than egg or sperm cells. • Somatic cells
How many chromosomes do you have in your egg or sperm cells? • 23
What is the genetic relationship of daughter cells to each other in MITOSIS? • Genetically the SAME!
________ is the cell that is created when a sperm fertilizes an egg. • zygote
What is the genetic relationship of daughter cells to parent cell in meiosis? • Genetically DIFFERENT!
_________ is a cell with only ONE set of chromosomes. • Haploid
Why is meiosis significant? (2 reasons) • 1. creates haploid gametes • 2. provides genetic variation
How many chromosomes do you get from your mom? • 23 • Homologous Chromosomes
During what stage of meiosis does crossing over occur? • Prophase I
__________ occurs when nonsister chromatids of homologous chromosome exchange genetic information. • Crossing over
What is the genetic relationship of daughter cells to parent cell in MITOSIS? • Genetically the SAME!
At the end of meiosis I, how many (human) chromosomes does each daughter cell have? • 46
EXPLAIN how meiosis provides genetic variation? (2 ways) • 1. Crossing over – random swapping of DNA • 2. Independent assortment of the homologous chromosomes – it is random to which side of the cell the chromosomes move to
Are your sex cells diploid or haploid? • Haploid
______ is the male gamete. • sperm
