| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The production of gametes (sex cells) | Gametogenesis |
| Where gamete production occurs | Gonads |
| Production of sperm, takes place in the testes | Spermatogenesis |
| Forms eggs within the ovaries | Oogenesis |
| "Normal" number of chromosomes, a humans number is 46 | Diploid number (2n) |
| Human number is 23, gametes | Haploid or monoploid (n) |
| A type of cell division that produces gametes | Meiosis |
| In the first round of meiosis chromosomes line up in pairs called these | Tetrads |
| End product of meiosis | Four monoploid daughter cells |
| Parts of Meiosis I | Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I |
| Parts of Meiosis II | Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II |
| Homologous chromosomes condense and pair. Crossing over occurs. Spindle fibers form between opposite poles | Prophase I |
| Microtubules spindle apparatus attaches to chromosomes. Homologous pairs align along spindle equator | Metaphase I |
| Homologous pairs of chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles | Anaphase I |
| One set of paired chromosomes arrives at |
