If you are using this, this is a simple review that I made. Credit: Fabiola(7-2)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ____________________________ is a type of reproduction in which the genetic materials from two different cells combine, producing an offspring. | Sexual reproduction |
| What is the name of the female sex cell? | egg |
| What is the name of the male sex cell? | sperm |
| During a process called_____________, an egg cell and a sperm join together. | fertilization |
| Where does the egg form? | Inside an ovary |
| Where does the sperm form? | Inside a testis |
| The new cell that forms from fertilization is called a _________ | zygote |
| __________ cells are cells that have pairs of chromosomes. | Diploid |
| Pairs of chromosomes that have genes for the same traits arranged in the same order are called_____________________ | homologous chromosomes |
| _______________cells are cells that have only one chromosome from each pair. | Haploid |
| In ___________, one diploid cell divides and makes four haploid sex cells | Meiosis |
| Meiosis only occurs during the formation of ______________ | sex cells |
| Following fertilization, a zygote goes through __________ and _______ _______ | mitosis, cell division |
| During ________________, the nuclear membrane breaks apart , the chromosomes condense and form homologous pairs, and the nucleolus disappearrs | prophase 1 |
| During ________________, homologous chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell and spindle fibers attach to each chromosome. | metaphase 1 |
| During ________________, homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell. | anaphase 1 |
| During ________________, the nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes and the cytoplasm divides, forming two daughter cells. | telophase 1 |
| Which section of meiosis were the previous questions in? 1 or 2? | 1 |
| During ________________, the nuclear membrane breaks apart, and the chromosomes are no longer copied. | prophase 2 |
| During ________________, sister chromatids line up along the center of the cell. | metaphase 2 |
| During ________________, sister chromatids of each chromosome begin to separate and are pulled to opposite ends of the cells. | anaphase 2 |
| During________________, a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromatids, and the cytoplasm divides. | telophase 2 |
| Were the previous questions in any order? Which one? | yes, meiosis 2 |
| ____________produces body cells. | mitosis |
| ____________produces sex cells. | meiosis |
| Due to ______________ ______________, individuals within a population have slight differences. | genetic variation |
| ___________ ______________ has been used to develop many types of plants and animals with desirable traits. | Selective breeding |
