|MOST COMMON QUESTIONS WITH CORRECTLY
VERIFIED ANSWERS|ALREADY A+

sexual reproduction - reproduction that results from combining genetic material from
two individuals.
meiosis - type of cell division that results in 4 daughter cells that each have half the
number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Diploid - A cell containing two full sets of chromosomes 2n=46.
Haploid - A cell containing a single/ half set of chromosomes n=23
Gametes - A haploid male or female germ cell (e.g. sperm and egg)
gene - a section of the DNA (chromosome) that codes for a specific trait (e.g. eye color or
hair color)
crossing over - when homologous chromosomes exchange genes during Prophase 1
creating new mixture of parent traits in their offspring
Meiosis I - PMAT I: The first cell division of meiosis when the homologous pairs are split
up into two separate cells.
Meiosis II - PMAT II: The second cell division of meiosis. This is when the sister
chromatids are split up into two separate cells.
Mitosis - Produces cells almost genetically identical
Asexual reproduction - Has the advantage of producing offspring in greater numbers,
with no partner required
23 pairs of chromosomes - How many pairs of chromosomes present in humans
