Meiosis

Question 0

Haploid

Answer 0

For humans: n=23

Question 1

Sex cell formation

Answer 1

Spermatogenesis

Oogenesis

Question 2

Gamate

Answer 2

Sperm and egg

Question 3

Crossover and genetic variation

Answer 3

No genetic variation without crossover
Which means no genetic diversity
Meaning no chance for evolution

Synapsis

Answer 4

Fusion of chromosome pairs at start of meiosis
