HB Mitosis and Meiosis #2

The cells produced via meiosis are called:

• sex cells
• somatic cells
• body cells
• skin cells

A human usually has ___ amount of chromosomes.

• 6
• 22
• 4
• 46

Meiosis makes sperm and egg cells. In humans, sperm and egg cells each have _____ chromosomes. Therefore a fertilized human egg cell (sperm and egg cell combined) would create a cell with _____ chromosomes.

• 23, 46
• 46, 23

What is another reason we need meiosis?

• So the offspring has genes from both parents
• So the offspring has genes from one parent
• So the offspring has genes from neither parents
• So the offspring makes its own genes
