| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| is a form of cell division that halves the number of chromosomes when forming specialized reproductive cells, such as gameats or spores. | Meosis |
| occurs when portions of a chromatid on one homologous chromosome are broken and enchanged with the corresponding chromatid. | Crossing-over |
| The random distribuation homologous chromosomes during meiosis. | independent assorsment |
| the process by witch sperm are produced in male animals. | spermatogenesis |
| the four cells change in form and devolop a tail to become male gametes. | sperm |
| the process by witch gametes are produced in female animals. | oogenesis |
| the larger cell develops into a gamete | ovum |
| a single parent passes copies of all its genes to eachof its offspring; there is no fusion of haploid cells such as gametes. | asexual reproduction |
| an individual produces by a sexual reproduction. | clone |
| two parents each form reproductive cells that have one half the number of chromosomes. | sexual reproduction |
| the entire span in the life of an organism from one generation to the next | life cycle |
| the gametes join in a process | fertilization |
| in plants, the diploid phase in life cycle that produces spores. | sporophyle |
| is a haploid reproductive cell produced by melosis that is capable of devoloping into an adult without fusin with another cell. | spore |
| is the haplpoid phase that produces gametes by mitiosis. | gametophyte |
