Mitochondria
Process where a male haploid and female haploid fuse together
Fertilization
True or false, Mitosis is constantly occurring in animals to renew cells
True
This is the process of removing the young from their mother
Weaning
Measured in years based on birthdate and current date
chronological age
Liquid that fills the cell to give it its shape

Layer that encloses the organelles into the animal cell and allows material to pass in and out of.
Cell membrane
Meiosis produces _______ by sharing bits of DNA during prophase I
Stage of mitosis where the chromosomes align to prepare for seperation
Metaphase
Involves growing steers and heifers from weaning until they enter the feed lot for finishing
Backgrounding
