1
Q
haploid
A
A cell with one copy of each chromosome
2
Q
Homologous
A
Two of the same chromosomes
3
Q
Heterologus
A
Two different chromosomes
4
Q
Tetrad
A
Four cells grouped together
5

A
A sex cell
7
Q

A
One copy of each chromosome
8

A
Any cell that’s not a sex cell
9
Q
Example of a haploid
A
Gamete
10

A cell with two copies of each chromosome
11
Q
Example of a diploid
A
Somatic
12

Germ cell
A
Gamete
13
Q
Crossing over
A
Occurs during prophase one. Chromosomes from each parent recombine to produce chromosomes that are a combination of both parents. Produces a variation between generations
14
Q
Allele
A
Different forms of a gene for a particular trait
15
Q
Meiosis
A
The process used to produce gametes
