the result of a sperm fertilizing an egg

How many pairs of chromosomes present in

humans somatic cells

Male reproductive cell in animals.

Achieved through mitosis. Has the advantage

of producing offspring in greater numbers,

with no partner required

reproduction that results from combining

genetic material from two individuals. A result

of meiosis then fertilization

when homologous chromosomes exchange

genes during Prophase 1 creating new mixture

of parent traits in their offspring

Symbol for haploid number of chromosomes

in a cell.

The last phase after Telophase.

Produces two genetically identical cells

A cell containing two full sets of

chromosomes (one from father and one from

mother). In humans, the diploid number is 46.

PMAT II: The second cell division of meiosis. This is

when the sister chromatids are split up into two

separate cells.

Female reproductive cell in animals.

PMAT I: The first cell division of meiosis when the

homologous pairs are split up into two separate

cells.

A haploid male or female reproductive cell

(e.g. sperm and egg)

type of cell division that results in 4 daughter cells

that each are haploid (have half the number of

chromosomes as the parent cell)

Produces cells that are different genetically

A pair of chromosomes of the same size,

shape and have the same gene; one from each

parent.

a section of the DNA that codes

for a specific trait (e.g. eye color or hair color)

A cell containing a single set of chromosomes

(one of each kind - half)

FERTILIZATION OCCURS WHEN

MEIOSIS PRODUCES 4 CELLS, THEY ARE

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING DO NOT OCCUR DURING THE MITOSIS STAGE OF THE CELL CYCLE
