NGSS.HS-LS3-1

Sex cells which have half the genetic material

• gametes

• egg

• sperm

• ovule

Cell Division which makes gametes (sex cells)

• mitosis

• budding

• binary fission

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

The failure of two chromosomes to separate during gamete formation, resulting in gametes with either a missing chromosome (monosomy) or an extra one (trisomy).

• nondisjunction

• junction

• cross over

• mitosis

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

Occurs when specific bases (A, T, C or G) in a gene are swapped for different ones

• insertion

• deletion

• substitution

chromosome breaks off and attaches

to another chromosome.

• dislocation

• nondisjunction

• duplication

• translocation

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

A process in which one cell divides into two identical cells.
