5970803591ovariesmeiosis occurs in this organ in females9
5970803592testesmeiosis occurs in this organ in males10
5970803593prophase Ithe phase in meiosis where the chromatin condenses into chromosomes and forms homologous pairs.11
5970803594prophase Ithe phase in meiosis where crossing over occurs12
5970803595crossing overthe exchange of genetic material between non sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes13
5970803596non sister chromatidscrossing over occurs between these14
5970803597metaphase Ithe phase in meiosis where homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell15
5970803598independent assortmentthe phenomenon where homologous chromosomes align along the metaphase plate independently of one another16
5970803599anaphase Ithe phase in meiosis where homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides17
5970803600telophase Ithe phase in meiosis where two new haploid nuclei are formed18
5970803601metaphase Ithe phase in meiosis where independent assortment occurs19
5970803602diploidtwo sets of chromosomes20
5970803603haploidone set of chromosomes21
5970803604prophase IIthe phase in meiosis were the chromatin condenses into chromosomes22
5970803605metaphase IIthe phase in meiosis where the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell23
5970803606anaphase IIthe phase in meiosis where the chromosomes are split into chromatids24
5970803607telophase IIthe phase in meiosis where two new nuclei are formed, resulting in four haploid cells25
5970803608s phasethe phase of interphase where the DNA is duplicated26
5970803609g1 phasethe phase of interphase where the cell grows27
5970803610g2 phasethe phase of interphase where the cell continues to grow and correct errors in DNA replication28
5970803611zygotea fertilized egg, it is diploid29
5970803612buddinga type of asexual reproduction performed in yeast where a new identical organism buds off an anatomical point of the original organism30
5970803613fertilizationthe joining of an egg and a sperm31
5970803614parthenogenesisa type of asexual reproduction where an unfertilized egg develops into an identical female offspring32
5970803615sproutinga type of asexual reproduction where an identical offspring develops from a shoot of a root or a stump33
5970803616nondisjunctionoccurs in anaphase 1, when a homologous chromosome fails to separate, or in anaphse 2, when a chromosome fails to separate34
