  • Q1
    Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes and the same structure but are not identical
    homologous chromosomes
    20s
  • Q2
    Identical copies of a chromosome joined at the centromere
    sister chromatids
    20s
  • Q3
    an organism or cell containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.; (2n)
    diploid
    20s
  • Q4
    An organism or cell having only one complete set of chromosomes (n); half the homologous pair
    haploid
    20s
  • Q5
    sex cells, reproductive cells (sperm and egg), that have a haploid number of chromosomes
    gametic cells
    20s
  • Q6
    body cells having a diploid number of chromosomes
    somatic cells
    20s
  • Q7
    a type of cell division that results in four haploid daughter cells
    Meiosis
    20s
  • Q8
    a type of cell division that results in two identical diploid daughter cells
    mitosis
    20s
  • Q9
    homologous chromosomes pair up and form tetrads, crossing over occurs
    Prophase I (Meiosis)
    20s
  • Q10
    Tetrads are lined up at the equator; Spindle fibers attach
    Metaphase I (Meiosis)
    20s
  • Q11
    Homologous chromosomes separate
    Anaphase I (Meiosis)
    20s
  • Q12
    two new nuclei form and cytoplasm splits to form two haploid daughter cells
    Telophase I and Cytokinesis (Meiosis)
    20s
  • Q13
    The first phase of meiosis II. Prophase II is identical to mitotic prophase, except that the number of chromosomes was reduced by half during meiosis I.
    Prophase II
    20s
  • Q14
    Sister chromatids line up at the middle of the cell
    Metaphase II (meiosis)
    20s
  • Q15
    sister chromatids separate
    Anaphase II (meiosis)
    20s
