Meiosis
This type of cell division produces gametes.
What is meiosis?
The number of parents required for asexual reproduction.
What is one?
The process in which two gametes unite to form a new organism.
What is fertilization?
The process that results in two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
Meiosis II is similar to this other process.
What is Mitosis.
These specialized reproductive cells are needed for sexual reproduction.
What are gametes?
The number of parents required for sexual reproduction.
What is two?
The number of chromosomes a gamete contains compared to a parent cell.
What is half?
The process that results in four genetically unique daughter cells.
What is meiosis?
In this phase of Meiosis, tetrads (two chromosomes, or four chromatid), are separated and moved toward the poles.
What is Anaphase I?
The two stages of meiosis.
What are Meiosis I and Meiosis II?
The advantage of sexual reproduction.
What is genetic variation?
The term for a complete set of chromosomes in an offspring.
What is a diploid?
The main purpose of mitosis.
What is growth and repair?
In this phase of Meiosis, crossing over occurs between non-sister chromatids.
What is Prophase I?
The number of daughter cells produced by meiosis.
What is four?
An amoeba, goes through this type of asexual reproduction which results in two genetically identical cells from one parent cell. Each of them having their own copy of the parent’s DNA strand.
What is binary fission?
The reason offspring are genetically unique in sexual reproduction.
What is the combination of genetic material from two parents?
Half of DNA from mom and half from dad.
The main purpose of meiosis.
What is the production of gametes?
In this phase of Meiosis, singular chromosomes line up in the middle plate of the cell.
What is Metaphase II?
The number of times DNA replicates during meiosis.
What is once?
A hydra, undergoes this type of asexual reproduction where the parent hydra develops a bud, the bud grows a, and it breaks off to become its own independent hydra. In other words, a clone of the parent.
What is budding?
The role of crossing over in meiosis.
What is increasing genetic diversity?
The number of nuclear divisions in meiosis.
What is two?
A cell containing 44 chromatids at the beginning of Meiosis, would at its completion produce cells containing this many chromosomes.
What is 11 chromosomes?
(44 chromatids= 22 chromosomes, Meiosis produces half the number results in 11 chromosomes)
