Haploid Chromosome Chromatid Chromatin Crossing Over Tetrad Gene A segment of genetic information on a chromosome Codes for a specific characteristic Allele A specific form of a gene. Organisms that reproduce sexually have specialized cells called gametes (sex cells). Gametes are the result of a type of cell division called meiosis. Diploid and haploid. Almost all human cells are . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJzZ7p-47P8&feature=related. . State that meiosis is a reduction division of a diploid nucleus to form a haploid . nulcei. .. Define homologous chromosomes. Outline the process of meiosis, including pairing of homologous chromosomes and crossing over, followed by two divisions, which . Sexual Life Cycles. Which of the following transmits genes from both parents to child, or from one generation of a family to another?. DNA. gametes. somatic cells. mitosis. nucleotides. Which of the following transmits genes from both parents to child, or from one generation of a family to another?. Sexual Life Cycles. modes of reproduction. diploid/haploid and meiosis. meiosis I and meiosis II phases. key differences between mitosis and meiosis. variation in position of meiosis in life cycles. why sex?. Key Concepts:. What happens during the process of meiosis?. How is meiosis different from mitosis?. Types of . Reproduction. Section 11-4. ASEXUAL. SEXUAL. 1. One Parent. 2. Binary fission (in prokaryotes) or mitosis in (eukaryotes).. 10.2 – Meiosis Sexual Reproduction Function: creates gametes (sperm, egg, pollen) for sexual reproduction . Meiosis: Cell division for sexual reproduction. Males - testes Females - ovaries Sex Cells Organisms that reproduce sexually are generally diploid: each cell contains two sets of chromosomes—a maternal chromosome set and a paternal chromosome set—one inherited from each parent. . .

Parthenogenesis . is a type of asexual reproduction in which a female gamete or egg cell develops into an individual without fertilization.. or. Parthenogenesi. s is defined as unfertilized ovum development without fertilization.. Gametes have half the number of chromosomes that body cells have.. You have body cells and gametes. . Body cells are also called somatic cells.. Germ cells develop into gametes.. Germ cells are located in the ovaries and testes.. Necessary only for sexual reproduction. Sister separate Sister chromatids remain attached Pairs of homologous chromosomes split up Chromosomes duplicate Homologous chromosomes (red and blue) pair and Essential Idea: . Meiosis produces genetically-varied, haploid cells needed for sexual reproduction. 3.3.1 One diploid nucleus divides by meiosis to produce four haploid nuclei. Meiosis. . is a process that divides .
