Introduction
Haploid Versus Diploid
Overview
Meiosis 1
Meiosis 2
100
The number of chromosomes you get from each parent.
What is 23 chromosomes?
100
The number and letter combinations used to describe haploid and diploid.
What are n (haploid) and 2n (diploid)?
100
This is what Meiosis is divided into.
What are Meiosis I and Meiosis II?
100

This is the number of cells present at the end of Meiosis 1.

What are 2?

100

One of these is NOT part of the chromosome. spindle, centromere, chromatid

What is the spindle?

200
The term used to describe egg and sperm cells.
What is gamete?
200
This is what a sperm is (haploid or diploid).
What is haploid?
200
This must happen before Meiosis begins.
What is DNA replication?
200
This is a process that occurs during Prophase 1, only during Meiosis.
What is crossing over?
200

This is the number and type of cells made at the end of Meiosis 2.

What are 4 genetically unique haploid gametes?

300
The term used to describe the diploid cell created after the egg and sperm fuse.
What is a zygote?
300
A cell with 2 sets of chromosomes.
What is a diploid cell?
300
Meiosis I can be divided into ____________, but Meiosis II can be divided into _____________.
What are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase (for both)?
300
This is what happens during crossing over.
What is the exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes?
300
A cell with a diploid number of 24 undergoes meiosis, so this is the number of chromosomes in each daughter cell.
What is 12?
400
The type of cells made during meiosis.
What are gametes?
400
This is what a zygote is (haploid or diploid).
What is diploid?
400
This is the cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis, bringing about the separation into two daughter cells.
What is cytokinesis?
400
This is the number of divisions during all of meiosis.
What are 2 divisions?
400
This is ensured by the process of meiosis.
What is genetic differentiation?
500
The term used to describe a pair of chromosomes.
What are homologous chromosomes?
500
A cell with half the number of chromosomes.
What is a haploid cell?
500
The stage in the development of a cell following mitosis or meiosis, during which the nucleus is not dividing.
What is Interphase?
500
This is the term used to describe different forms of a gene.
What is an allele?
500

How are Anaphase I and Anaphase II different?

Anaphase I separates homologous chromosomes, Anaphase II, the sister chromosomes are separated.
