1
New cards

Special diploid cells called germ-line cells

undergo meiosis

2
New cards

Two rounds of division create

four daughter cells (meiosis I and meiosis II)

3
New cards

Cells produced are

Haploid (one set of chromosome 1n)

4
New cards

Cells produced are

genetically different

5
New cards

Creates genetically different

haploid gametes also called germ cells (e.g sperm and eggs)

6
New cards

Gametes fuse during fertilization

to form a new diploid cell

7
New cards

Allows for sexual reproduction

which introduces genetic variation by combining unique gametes

8
New cards

Some organisms reproduce asexually via mitosis

that is they produce identical clones
