Vocabulary Term 2 Week 1

the production of genetically

identical offspring from a

single parent

• reproduction

• sexual reproduction

• Mitosis

• asexual reproduction

offspring produced inherit some of their genetic information from each parent

• homologous

• Meiosis

• sexual reproduction

pair of chromosomes inherited from a parent. Each of the chromosomes from the male parent has a corresponding chromosome from the female parent.

• Homologous

• sexual reproduction

• diploid

a cell with two sets of homologous chromosomes (2n)

• Homologous

• haploid

• mitosis

• diploid

cells with a single set of chromosomes (n)

• Parent

• tetrad

• Mitosis

• haploid

process in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell

• Metaphase

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Cell Division

each replicated chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome. Formed from the pairing and contains four chromatids

• telophase

• tetrad

• chromatids

as the chromosomes pair, they go through this process in which bits and pieces of the homologous chromosomes are exchanged

• crossing-over

• asexual reproduction

• genetics

Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis in terms of reproduction.

• Bio 3A.2

Model sex cell formation (meiosis) and combination (fertilization) to demonstrate the

maintenance of chromosome number through each generation in sexually reproducing

populations. Explain why the DNA of the daughter cells is different from the DNA of the parent cell.
