Meiosis

Type of reproduction in which a single parent passes a complete copy of its genetic material to its offspring.  Offspring is genetically identical to the parent.

• Sexual
• Fertilization
• Asexual
• Autosome

NGSS.MS-LS3-2

Type of reproduction in which two parents give genetic material to offspring that are genetically different from the parents.

• Asexual
• Binary Fission
• Sexual
• Fragmentation

NGSS.MS-LS3-2

A reproductive cell (egg or sperm)

• Autosome
• Zygote
• Diploid
• Gamete

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

The first cell that results from fertilization (fertilized egg)

• Zygote
• Gamete
• Germ Cell
• Haploid Cell

Occurs when the gamete from one parent fuses with gamete from the other parents. (union of gametes)

• Fragmentation
• Fertilization
• Zygote
• Crossing Over

Cells that are specialized for sexual reproduction.  These cells produce gametes.

• Somatic Cell
• Germ Cell
• Autosome
• Sex Chromosome

All body cells except germ cells.

• Somatic Cells
• Gametes
• Sex Chromosomes
• Autosomes

A cell that has two sets of chromosomes. (Ex. Somatic Cells)

• Haploid
• Diploid
• Triploid
• Quadloid

A cell that has one set of chromosomes  (Ex. gametes - egg or sperm)

• Haploid
• Diploid
• Tripoid
• Quadloid

Chromosomes that are similar in size, shape and the genes they contain.

• Autosomes
• Sex Chromosomes
• Homologous Chromosomes
• X & Y Chromosomes
