Meiosis
Number of daughter cells produced
4
Make up different versions of a gene
Alleles
Genetic makeup of an organism
Genotype
Fertilization is this type of reproduction
Sexual
Phase where homologous chromosomes line up in middle of the cell
Metaphase
DNA condenses into chromosomes during which phase of meiossis
Prophase
What process produces gametes
Meiosis
Physical characteristics an organism exhibits
Phenotype
In this phase spindle fibers pull apart homologous chromosomes
Anaphase
RR would be this type of genotype
Homozygous dominant
Type of cells produced by meiosis
Gametes (egg or sperm)
How many chromosomes do humans have?
46
Haploid daughter cells have how many chromosomes
23
Product of Fertilization
Two haploid gametes
A cell has 6 chromosomes. How many will it have after Meiosis 1
3
Type of cells produced at the end of meiosis
Haploid
Organism that has two of the same kind of alleles
Homozygous
Process we are modeling when we cross the alleles from each of the possible gametes in a Punnett Square
Fertilization
Number of rounds of division for Meiosis
2
During this phase, cell membrane divides resulting in 4 haploid cells
Telophase
This event leads to genetic diversity
Crossing over
Organism that has one dominant and one recessive allele
Heterozygous
Pair of chromosomes that carry the same genes
Homologous
Fertilized egg
Zygote
This must happen to the DNA before Meiosis can begin
Replication
