U3L4 Meiosis study guides terms with
verified solutions
crossing over - Ans>> the process by which genetic material is
exchanged by non-sister chromatids during prophase I of meiosis
diploid - Ans>> having two sets of chromosomes
gamete - Ans>> a male or female sex cell (male sperm and
female egg)
haploid - Ans>> having one set of chromosomes
, law of independent assortment - Ans>> the second law of
inheritance, which states that traits are passed from parents to
offspring independently of one another
meiosis - Ans>> a process involving two cell divisions, in which
one diploid cell produces four haploid cells with half the number
of chromosomes as the parent cell
There are two types of cell division. The first (A) produces cells
that are identical to the original cell. The second (B) produces
cells that are different from the original cell.
Which type of cell division do you think is responsible for these
processes?
A. replacement of damaged skin cells
B. growth of an organism
C. production of sperm and egg cells - Ans>> A
