Set 3

3. reproduction involving two sources of genetic material and the genetic combinations of the two parents
4. a specialized type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms
6. a type of asexual reproduction where a single-celled organism divides into two identical daughter cells, with each new cell receiving a copy of the parent cell's genetic material
7. a cell or organism that contains two complete sets of chromosomes
8. a form of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops from a small outgrowth or "bud" that grows on the body of a parent organism
11. describes how different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develop

1. a cell or organism that contains only one set of chromosomes
2. the process where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material during meiosis, resulting in the creation of new combinations of alleles on the chromosomes, which contributes to genetic variation in offspring
5. the failure of chromosomes to separate properly during cell division (mitosis or meiosis), resulting in daughter cells with an abnormal number of chromosomes
9. another word for egg and sperm
10. the process by which an organism replaces or restores damaged or missing cells, tissues, organs, or even body parts to their full function
