Chapter 4 Flashcards
Separates sister chromatids
Meiosis 2
A type of reproduction in which the genetic material from two different cells combine, producing an offspring
Sexual reproduction
a female sex egg
Egg
A male sex egg
Sperm
An egg cell and a sperm cell join together
Fertilization
A new cell that forms from fertilization
Zygote
A type of cell that have pairs of chromosomes
Diploid
Pairs of chromosomes that have genes for the same traits arranged in the same order
Homologous Chromosomes
A type of cells that have only one chromosomes from each pair
Haploid
One diploid cell divides and makes four haploid sex cells
Meiosis
One parent organism produces offspring without meiosis and fertilization
Asexual reproduction
Cell division in prokaryotes that forms two genetically identical cells
Fission
A new organism grows by mitosis and cell division on the body of a parent
Budding
Occurs when an offspring grows from the piece of its parent
Regeneration
A form of asexual reproduction in which offspring grow from a part of a plant
Vegetative reproduction
A type of asexual reproduction performed in a laboratory that produces identical individuals from a cell or form a cluster of cells taken from a multicellular organisms
Cloning
It separates homologous chromosomes
Meiosis 1
Meiosis maintains the chromosomes number of a species from one generation to the next
