| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| somatic cell 6.1 | cell that makes up all of the body tissues and organs, except gametes |
| gamete 6.1 | a haploid reproductive cell that unites with another haploid reproductive cell to form a zygote |
| homologous chromosome 6.1 | chromosomes that have the same length, appearance, and copies of genes, although the alleles may differ |
| autosome 6.1 | any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome |
| sex chromosome 6.1 | one of the pair of chromosomes that determines the sex of an individual |
| sexual reproduction 6.1 | reproduction in which gametes from 2 parents unite |
| fertilization 6.1 | the union of a male and female gametes to form a zygote |
| diploid 6.1 | a cell that contains 2 haploid sets of chromosomes |
| haploid 6.1 | describes a cell, nucleus, or organism that has only one set of unpaired chromosomes |
| meiosis 6.1 | a process in cell division during which the number of chromosomes decreases to half the original number by the two divisions of the nucleus, which results in the production of sex cells (gametes or spores) |
| gametogenesis 6.2 | process by which gametes are produced through the combination of meiosis and other maturational changes |
| sperm 6.2 | male gamete |
| egg 6.2 | female gamete |
| polar body 6.2 | one of the small cells that separate from oocyte during meiosis, that have little cytoplasm, and that are ultimately discarded |
