| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Crossing-over | Homologous chromosomes can switch parts between themselves, providing genetic variation |
| How many chromosomes are in germ cells? | 2 |
| How many chromosomes are in germ cells? | 2 |
| What is the overall function of mitosis? | To create more cells |
| How many daughter cells are created by mitosis? | 2 |
| How many daughter cells are created by meiosis? | 1 |
| Haploid | When a cell has one set of chromosomes |
| Diploid | When a cell has two sets of chromosomes |
| If a dog has a diploid number of 78, what is its haploid number? | 39 |
| What are the base pairs found in DNA? | guanine, cytosine, adenine, thymine |
| Somatic cell | Cell that contains 2 sets of chormosomes; produces body cells |
| What is the main function of meiosis? | To create gametes in order to continue the species; creates genetically different offspring |
| Sexual Reproduction | Two paren cells give genetic material to produce offspring that are genetically different from their parents |
| Asexual reproduction | Single parent passes complete copy of its genetic information; produces genetically identical offspring |
| Where do offspring of sexual reproduction get their DNA from? | Recieve half of DNA from each parent |
| Where do offspring of asexual reproduction get their DNA from? | Recieve complete copy of the single parent's DNA |
| How many sperm cells are created as a result of spermatogenesis? | 4 |
| How many eggs are created by oogenesis? | 4, but only one becomes an ovum |
| What are the two chromosomes that represent a male? | XY |
| What are the two chromosomes that represent a female? | XX |
| What is the process by which sperm and egg cells are created? | Spermatogenesis and oogenesis |
| Gamete | Haploid cells that are used in sexual reproduction, made by reproduction |
