Question 1

meiosis

Answer 1

process by nuclear division that REDUCES the number of chromosomes in new cell to HALF the # in the original cell

Question 2

gamete

Answer 2

a haploid cell that fuses w/ another haploid cell to become a zygote

Question 3

crossing over

Answer 3

exchange of corresponding segments of DNA
