Vocabulary
Off Topic
100
Type of cell division that produces four gametes from one body cell.
What is meiosis?
100
The stage of meiosis where the spindle is broken down and the cytoplasm divides.
What is Telophase I?
100
A cell with two of each kind of chromosome.
What is a diploid cell?
100
An organism with an unusual number of chromosome sets.
What is a polyploid?
200
The type of cell produced by the process of meiosis.
What is a haploid cell?
200
The stage of meiosis where chromosomes are replicated in the cell.
What is Interphase?
200
Paired chromosomes with genes for the same traits in the same order.
What are homologous chromosomes?
200
The resulting life form from the fusing of two gametes.
What is a zygote?
300
Another method of cellular division that is similar to the process of meiosis.
What is mitosis?
300
The stage of meiosis where DNA coils into chromosomes and the spindle forms. Chromosomes arrange into tetrads.
What is Prophase I?
300
Pattern of reproduction that involves the production and subsequent fusion of haploid cells.
What is sexual reproduction?
300
Errors that occur during meiosis that can lead to extra or missing chromosomes in gametes.
What is nondisjunction?
400
What each of the two cells produced by Meiosis I has only half of.
What is genetic information?
400
The stage of meiosis where homologous chromosomes separate and are pulled to opposites poles of the cell by spindle fibers.
What is Anaphase I?
400
Process that occurs during Prophase I of meiosis where genetic material is exchanged between nonsister chromatids.
What is crossing-over?
400
The language from which the word "meiosis" is derived.
What is Greek?
500
This scientist discovered laws that are explained by the process of meiosis.
Who is Charles Mendel?
500
The stage of Meiosis where the chromosomes attach to the spindle and line up along the equator.
What is Metaphase I?
500
Major source of genetic variation among organisms.
What is genetic recombination?
500
A different term that describes the same basic process of meiosis.
What is gametogenesis?
