| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A process in a cell division during which the number of chromosomes decreases to half the original number by two divisions of the nucleus, which results in the production of sex cells(gametes or spores) | Meiosis |
| The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis; can result in genetic recombination | Crossing-over |
| THe random distribution of the pairs of genes on different chromosomes to the gametes | Independent Assortment |
| The process by which male gametes form | Spermatogenesis |
| The male gamete (Sex Cell) | Sperm |
| The production, growth, and maturation of an egg, or ovum | ooGenesis |
| A mature egg cell | Ovum |
| Reproduction that Does not involve the Union of gametes and in which a single parent produces offsprings that are gentically identical to the parent | Asexual Reproduction |
| An organism that is produced by asexual reproduction and that is gentically identical to its parents; to make a genetic duplication | Clone |
| Reproduction in which gametes form two parents unite | Sexual Reproduction |
| All of the events in the growth and developement of an organism ntil the organism reaches sexual maturity | Life Cycle |
| the union of a male and female gametes to form zygotes | Fertilization |
| Inplants and algea that have alternation of generation, the diploid individual or generation that produces haploids | Sporophyte |
