Quality content you can rely on!
Crossing-Over - Answer: Process in which homologous chromosomes exchange
portions of their chromatids during meiosis
Diploid - Answer: Term used to refer to a cell that contains two sets of homologous
chromosomes
Fertilization - Answer: Process in sexual reproduction in which male and female
reproductive cells join to form a new cell
Gamete - Answer: Sex cell
Haploid - Answer: Term used to refer to a cell that contains only a single set of genes
Homologous - Answer: Term used to refer to chromosomes in which one set comes
from the male parent and one set comes from the female parent
Hybrid - Answer: Offspring of crosses between parents with different traits
Independent Assortment - Answer: One of Mendel's principles that states that genes for
different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes
Meiosis - Answer: Process in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half
through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell
Tetrad - Answer: Structure containing four chromatids that forms during meiosis
Zygote - Answer: Fertilized egg
