What is the definition of a diploid cell?

A

A cell which contains two sets of chromosomes

18
Q

What is the definition of gametes?

19
Q

What is the third stage in the 4 stages of mitosis?

A

3 - The opposite chromosomes are pulled to other ends of each cell.

20
Q

What is the definition of homologous chromosomes?

A

chromosomes with silimar characteristics that pair up with one another

21

A

A cell which contains one set of chromosomes

24
Q
