Vocab list for chapter 6 science
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Differentation | In humans, the process in which cell layers will eventually form the organs and tissues of a baby/ The operation that humans carry out in order to form the stuff for a baby. |
| Diploid Number | Two sets of chromosomes; the diploid number for humans is 46, (2x23)/ what they call two chromosome groups |
| Embryo | the stage of a multicellular organism that develops from a zygote/ |
| Embryonic Development | Early development of a multicellular organism following fertilization/ the development that we go through as embryos |
| External Fertilization | Fertilization in which a sperm cell and an egg cell unite outside the bodies of the parents/ when the magic happens outside of the parent's magic making places. |
| Fertilization | The process during which an egg cell is penetrated by a sperm cell and the haploid genetic information of both male and female/The process that makes a new organism |
| Gametes | Specialized cells necessary for reproduction; in animals, males gametes are called sperm cells and female gametes are called egg cells/The thing that is your magic making materials. |
| Genetic Diversity | Inherited genetic differences in a species that give many organisms a survival advantage/the naturally gotten thing from your parents that makes you and your species extra special and good. |
| Haploid Number | Each set of chromosomes, half the diploid number; humans inherit one set of 23 chromosomes from their female parent and 23 from their male parent/ Half the dippy is the happy. |
| Homologous Chromosomes | A pair of matching chromosomes./ Two sets of chromosome that are exactly the same. |
| Internal Fertilization | Fertilization in which sperm cells are deposited inside the female's body where they can meet egg cells./ When the magic is Happening and the parents can't see it because it is inside of them. |
| Mating | The process in which gametes arrive in the same place at the same time./When one magic making material finds another magic making Material and they come together and do their thing. |
| Meiosis | the process that process that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes As body cells/The magic making materials are made in this pricess |
| Sexual Reproduction | Reproduction that requires two parents and produces offspring that are genetically different from each other, from either parent, and from any other organism in their Species./The magic making that produces special members of their species. |
| Zygote | The new diploid cell formed by the process of fertilization, which receives half its chromosomes, from its female parent and half from its male parent. The cell with two sets of chromosomes formed by magic making. |
