10.3 Flashcards
mitosis
asexual reproduction. diploid daughter cells, divide one time, two different cells. Prodcues cells for growth and healing, parents are somatic cells, 2 identical cells made, during metaphase sister chromatids line up, mutation is the only source of variation
meiosis
cell didvision to create gametes
uniqe trates of meiosis
daughter cells are haploid and gametes, produces reporocudtive cells, 4 different cells are made, divides two times, crossing over can rearange chromosomes, greater variety in offspring, daughter cells are haplid and genuinely unique, fertilization
haploid
one copy of chromosomes, gametes, cells are identical
diploid
2 copies of each chromosome, somatic cells, cells have homologous chromosomes
fertilization
sperm joing w/ and egg ( sperm+egg =zygote)
syanpsis
pairing of homologous chromosmes
crossing over
occurs in prophase 1 of meiosis, homologous pairs swap pieces of chromosomes
