Cell Growth and Division Part 2

the products of meiosis, later make egg and sperm cells

• gamete

• somatic cell

• autosome

• tetrad

normal body cells, undergo mitosis, have the diploid number of chromosomes

• gamete

• somatic cells

• autosome

• tetrad

a chromosome that does not determine gender, in humans there are 44 of these, 22 pairs

• gamete

• somatic cells

• autosome

• tetrad

when homologous chromosomes line up during synapsis, the four of them are called a ____

• gamete

• somatic cell

• autosome

• tetrad

when genetic material from 1 homologous chromosomes becomes attached to the other. I can happen during Prophase 1 of meiosis.

• crossing over

• synapsis

• sexual reproduction

the process where homologs match up, form a tetrad and line up during Metaphase 1 of meiosis

• crossing over

• synapsis

• sexual reproduction

when organisms make gametes and exchange genetic information; new cells are genetically different than the originals

• crossing over

• synapsis

• sexual reproduction

the "normal" number of chromosomes, one of each size/shape from Mom and one from Dad

(2n 46 for humans)

• diploid

• haploid

• homologous chromosome

• sex chromosome

"half" the normal number of chromosomes, 1 from each pair split in two
23 for humans

• diploid

• haploid

• homologous chromosome

• sex chromosome

chromosomes that are the same size, shape, and contain the same genes

• diploid

• haploid

• homologous chromosome

• sex chromosome
