Cells
Haploid cells produced by meiosis involved in sexual reproduction
What are gametes?
Two identical structures of condensed DNA that have the same genes and same alleles
What are sister chromatids?
The cell replicates its DNA in this phase
What is interphase?
The part of meiosis that is most similar to mitosis
What is Meiosis II?
The specific type of meiosis that occurs in human females
What is oogenesis?
Human cells that have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes
What are diploid cells?
Pairs of condensed DNA that have the same genes but not necessarily the same alleles
What are homologous chromosomes?
This process results in the formation of two identical diploid daughter cells
What is mitosis?
What are both diploid cells?
The specific type of meiosis that occurs in human males
What is spermatogenesis?
Diploid product of fertilization
What is a zygote?
Human gametes have this many pairs of homologous chromosomes
What are 0?
This process results the formation of four genetically different haploid cells
What is meiosis?
A difference between the cell type that is produced by mitosis and the cell type that is produced by meiosis
What is diploid regular body cell vs haploid gamete?
The part of meiosis when chromosomal reduction actually occurs
What is Meiosis I?
Diploid cells that produce haploid cells
What are germ cells?
Sections of DNA that contain information for specific traits
What are genes?
This process results in the formation of a zygote
What is fertilization?
This splitting process happens once during mitosis and happens twice during meiosis
What is cytokinesis?
These separate during meiosis I
What are homologous chromosomes?
The nameS of the cell typeS that are produced by oogenesis
What are 1 ova and 3 polar bodies?
Different versions of a gene
What are alelles?
This process enables an organism to grow from a single celled zygote into a multicellular organism
What is mitosis?
This describes the concept that meiosis causes the daughter cells to have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
What is chromosomal reduction?
These separate during meiosis II
What are sister chromatids?
