1
New cards
Chromosomes
Strands of DNA and protein inside the cell nucleus that carry genes.
2
New cards
Diploid
A cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes, represented by the symbol 2n.
3
New cards
Haploid
A cell that contains a single set of chromosomes, represented by the symbol n.
4
New cards
Meiosis
A process that reduces the number of chromosomes per cell by separating homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.
5
New cards
Homologous Chromosomes
Paired chromosomes from each parent that are the same length and carry genes for the same traits.
6
New cards
Crossing-over
The process during meiosis where homologous chromosomes exchange sections of chromatids, producing new allele combinations.
7
New cards
Gametes
Haploid reproductive cells (sperm and egg) involved in sexual reproduction.
8
New cards
Interphase I
The stage before meiosis I where the cell undergoes chromosome replication.
9
New cards
Tetrad
A structure formed during meiosis when homologous chromosomes pair up, containing four chromatids.
10
New cards
Fertilization
The fusion of male and female gametes, creating a zygote.
11
New cards
Mitosis vs Meiosis
Mitosis produces two identical diploid cells, while meiosis produces four genetically diverse haploid cells.
12
New cards
Zygote
A fertilized egg formed from the fusion of male and female gametes.
