When an area of a chromatid is exchanged with the matching area on a chromatid of its homologous chromosome, what occurs

• crossing over

• hybridization

• fertilization

MEIOSIS PRODUCES 4 CELLS-THE CHROMOSOME NUMBER IS

• DIPLOID

• HAPLOID

The process of meiosis

• 1 haploid cell divides to form 2 diploid cells

• 1 haploid cell divides to form 4 diploid cells

• 1 diploid cell divides to form 2 haploid cells

• 1 diploid cell divides to form 4 haploid cells

What are some examples of haploid cells

• nerve cells

• blood cells

• sex cells (gametes)

• muscle cells
