Sexual Reproduction in the cells (aka: the more complicated version of sex ed

Question 1

What is sexual reproduction

Answer 1

When 2 organisms work together to make new organism

Question 2

What is the haploid number

Answer 2

Number of inherited chromosones

Question 3

What is a gamete

Answer 3

Specialized cell that carries haploids.

Question 4

What is a male gamete

Answer 4

Sperm cell

Question 5

What is a female gamete

Answer 5

Egg cell

Question 6

What is meiosis

Answer 6

Special kind of cell division where the chromosones dont divide in new cell. Also, the dna only replicates once

Question 7

Explain meiosis I

Answer 7

Its where one chromosome from each parent and lines up at equator. They then cross over to share genetic info. Cell then splits without dna replicating.

Question 8

Explain homologus chromosomes

Answer 8

2 sets of chromosomes each set from a different parent

Question 9

Explain meiosis II

Answer 9

Next stage of meosis. These are the results of meiosis I.

Question 10

What happens during meiosis II

Answer 10

Only 1 set of homologous in each cell. Chromatids line up at centre, then the sister chromatids pull apart to make the homologus chromosones into haploid sets at each end of cell.
