Haploid cells involved in sexual reproduction (in humans)
What are gametes?
The phase of meiosis where chromosomal crossover occurs
What is prophase I?
This process results in chromosomal reduction
What is meiosis?
Diploid cells that produce haploid cells (in humans)
What are germ cells?
These separate during meiosis I
What are homologous chromosomes?
The phase in meiosis & the phase in mitosis when chromatin condenses into chromosomes
What is prophase & prophase I?
Cell types produced by oogenesis
What is 1 egg cell and 3 polar bodies?
The process of homologous chromosomes exchanging alleles
What is crossover?
A major similarity between anaphase in mitosis and anaphase II of meiosis
What is the separation of sister chromatids?
Haploid cells that develop into gametophytes in alternation of generation life cycle
What are spores?
The phase of meiosis when chromosomes line up in pairs
What is metaphase I?
For an organism to grow, its cells must go through this process
