The cells other than somatic cells that are formed through a process called meiosis

• Sex cells

• Diploid cells

• Gametes

• Zygote cells

The two chromosomes that make up each pair of human somatic cells (23 pairs for a total of 46 chromosomes in humans)

• Sex chromosomes

• Tetrads

• Homologous chromosomes

• Autosomes

A type of chromosomal analysis that photographs and arranges chromosomes so that they can be visually inspected for defects

• Punnett square

• Pedigree

• Cladogram

• Karyotype

Male gametes

• Ova

• Polar body

• Spermatozoa

• Zygote

Sex cells

• Polar bodies

• Gametes

• Zygotes

• Homologues

The exchange of DNA between paired homologous chromosomes during meiosis

• Crossing-over

• Karyotype

• Conjugation

• Genetic variation

The union of a male and a female gamete during sexual reproduction

• Fertilization

• Conjugation

• Crossing-over

Somatic cells produced through the process of mitosis that contain the full number of chromosomes for that organism; have the 2n number of chromosomes

• Haploid cells

• Gametes

• Diploid cells

• Autosomes

Homologous chromosomes paired together side by side during meiosis

• Tetrad

• Karyotype

• Autosomes

• Polar bodies

The differences in the combination of genes passed from one generation to another

• Sexual reproduction

• Asexual reproduction

• Genetic variation

• Crossing-over
