Cell Cycle And Meiosis

Question 1

Reproductive mode by which offspring arise from two parents and inherit genes from both

Answer 1

Sexual reproduction

Question 2

Shared traits of sexual reproduction

Answer 2

Genetics, Heredity and Variaton

Question 3

Is the scientific study of heredity and variations

Answer 3

Genetics

Question 4

Is the transmission of traits from one generation to the next

Answer 4

Heredity

Question 5

It is demonstrated by the differences in appearance that offspring show from parents and siblings

Answer 5

Variation

Question 6

Occurs in immature reproductive cells (germ cells) of sexually reproducing eukaryotes, forming make and female haploid gametes

Answer 6

Meiosis

Question 7

Sorts the chromosomes into new nuclei twice (meiosis I and meiosis II)

Answer 7

Meiosis

Question 8

Mature, haploid reproductive cell

Answer 8

Gamete

Question 9

Having one of each type of chromosome characteristic of the species

Answer 9

Haploid (n)

Question 10

Is restored at fertilization, when two haploid (n) gametes fuse to form zygote

Answer 10

Diploid number

Question 11

Fusion of a sperm nucleus and an egg nucleus, resulting in a single-celled zygote

Answer 11

Fertilization

Question 12

First cell of a new individual, with two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent

Answer 12

Zygote

Question 13

Two new nuclear envelopes form around the two clusters of still-duplicated chromosomes

Answer 13

Meiosis I

Question 14

Separates sister chromatids; four haploid nuclei typically form, each with one complete set of unduppicated chromosomes

Answer 14

Meiosis II
