Meiosis and Chromosomes, Pedigrees and Karyotypes

Each identical side of a chromosome is the 

• centromere
• chromatin
• centriole
• chromatid

The structure that holds two chromosomes together until they separate for cell division is the

• chromatid
• chromatin
• centromere
• cytoplasm

Cells that contain two sets of chromosomes (example: 2n = 46) are called

• gametes

• haploid

• diploid

• chromatin

Chromosomes contain genetic information in the form of

• DNA

• histone

• centromere

• karyotypes

A picture or image of a person's chromosomes taken through a microscope

• pedigree

• centromere

• karyotype

• none are correct

Sister chromatids are held together by a

• histone core

• chromatin

• nucleosome

• centromere

Gametes that contain one set of chromosomes (example: n = 23) are called

• diploid

• autosomes

• haploid

• somatic cells

A segment of DNA

• nucleosome

• gene

• histone

• chromatin

Determine the sex of an individual and are represented by XX or XY

• sex chromosomes

• autosomes

• somatic cells

• diploid cells

Haploid in the number of chromosomes they contain (example: sperm or egg)

• somatic cells

• muscle cells

• gametes

• neurons
