Meiosis & Genetics

2. the number of daughter cells created from the process of meiosis
5. the maturation of female gametes (production of egg cells)
7. when genes that are close to each other on a chromosome are likely to get passed on to offspring together
8. in Metaphase 1 the chromosomes randomly line up next to their homologous pair
10. stage in which homologous pairs line up next to each other in the center of the cell
11. when the egg and sperm cell meet to create a zygote
15. stage in which homologous chromosomes are pulled apart

1. in Prophase 1 when homologous chromosomes swap segments of their chromosome
3. cells created from the process of meiosis
4. when a cell undergoes oogenesis, and it does not have enough cytoplasm or cell parts to continue developing, it turns into this.
6. the maturation of male gametes (production of sperm cells)
9. cells containing two copies of each chromosome
12. stage in which sister chromatids are pulled away from each other
13. the daughter cells created from meiosis are genetically ______.
14. cells containing one copy of each chromosome
