G2 phase
27
What is the general name of the G1 phase, S-phase, and G2 phase?
Interphase
28
What are the 2 types of reproduction?
Asexual and sexual
29
What are the two things about asexual reproduction?
- 1 cell splitting into 2 cells | - not 2 cells forming 1 cell
30
What are two examples of asexual reproduction?
1) Binary Fission (Mitosis) | 2) Budding (Yeast)
31
What is the different between binary fission and budding with asexual reproduction?
The cells do not divide evenly in budding like they do for binary fission
32
What is the definition of sexual reproduction and what does it mean?
-fission of specialized cells | means, the coming together of sperm and egg cells
33
Gametes are ???
Sexual reproductive cells
34
What are the 2 sexual reproductive cells?
Fe- egg (ovum) | M- sperm
35
What is another name for the female egg cell?
Ovum
36
What is fertilization?
The actual fusion of gametes
37
What is a zygote?
A fertilized egg
38
What is a hermaphrodite?
An organism that contains both male and female sex cells
39
What are 2 examples of a hermaphrodite?
Earthworm, tapeworm
40
How many chromosomes do humans have? How many pairs is that?
46 chromosomes | 23 pair
41
XX is what kind of pair
A homologous pair
42
How many homologous pairs do males have? | How many do females have?
Males- 22 pair | Females- 23 pair
43
What is a diploid cell?
Cell that has the full number of chromosomes
44
What can a diploid cell be referred to as?

45
What are a few examples of diploid cells?
Skin, muscle, bone, nerve, kidney
46
What is a haploid cell?
A cell that has half the full number of chromosomes
47
What can a haploid cell be referred to as?
n
48
What are a few examples of haploid cells?
Sperm, egg
49
What is meiosis?
Cell division in sperm and egg
50
What happens in meiosis?
The # number of chromosomes is cut in half
51
What does a haploid cell start with, and what does it end with?
A haploid cell starts with 1 Diploid cell, and end with 4 haploid cells
52
