the stage of meiosis 1 when the chromosomes separate
anaphase 1
the stage of meiosis 2 when the sister chromatids are pulled apart
anaphase 2
the chromosomes that determine all non sexual characteristics
autosomes
offspring that are genetically identical to the parent
clones
transfer of dna between the father and mothers chromatids that usually occurs during meiosis 1 when the homologous pairs are lined up next to one another
crossing over
cells that have paired chromosomes, or are 2n
diploid cells
twice the haploid number of chromosomes
diploid number
animal gamates in a female
eggs
a female organism contains two x chromosomes
female sex chromosome
to join together when the sperm fuses with the ovum allowing the chromosomes of each to unite and form an embryo
fuse
a sex cell; a cell used for sexual reproduction
gamete
cells or organisms created by asexual reproduction; coles
genetically identical
cells that only contain one copy of chromosomes
haploid cells
the name given to homologous chromosomes after they have replicate and are aligned with one another in metaphase 1
homologous pairs
an individual chromosome of a homologous pair
homologue
the stage of meiosis 1 when the cell duplicates its chromosomes
interphase 1
the stage of meiosis 2 that occurs after telophase 1
interphase 2
an orderly presentation of chromosomes after staining them a special way
karyote
