| 6228562590 | sexual reproduction | reproduction that results from combining genetic material from two individuals. |  | 0 |
| 6228562591 | meiosis | type of cell division that results in 4 daughter cells that each have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. |  | 1 |
| 6228562592 | homologous pairs | A pair of chromosomes of the same type, one from each parent. |  | 2 |
| 6228562593 | Diploid | A cell containing two full sets of chromosomes (one from father and one from mother). In humans, the diploid number is 46. |  | 3 |
| 6228562594 | Haploid | A cell containing a single set of chromosomes (one of each kind - half) | | 4 |
| 6228562595 | Gametes | A haploid male or female germ cell (e.g. sperm and egg) |  | 5 |
| 6228562596 | Sperm | Male germ cell in animals. It is haploid and has a tail. |  | 6 |
| 6228562597 | Egg | Female germ cell in animals. |  | 7 |
| 6228562598 | 2n | Symbol for diploid number of chromosomes in a cell. |  | 8 |
| 6228562599 | 1n | Symbol for haploid number of chromosomes in a cell. |  | 9 |
| 6228562600 | gene | a section of the DNA (chromosome) that codes for a specific trait (e.g. eye color or hair color) |  | 10 |
| 6228562601 | crossing over | when homologous chromosomes exchange genes during Prophase 1 creating new mixture of parent traits in their offspring |  | 11 |
| 6228562602 | Meiosis I | PMAT I: The first cell division of meiosis when the homologous pairs are split up into two separate cells. |  | 12 |
| 6228562603 | Meiosis II | PMAT II: The second cell division of meiosis. This is when the sister chromatids are split up into two separate cells. | | 13 |
| 6228590584 | zygote | the result of a sperm and an egg | 14 | |
| 6228598120 | Meiosis II | No DNA replication during this division | 15 | |
| 6228601850 | Meiosis I | There IS DNA replication during this division | 16 | |
| 6228605539 | Cytokinesis | The last phase after Telophase. | 17 | |
| 6228609675 | Mitosis | Produces cells almost genetically identical | 18 | |
| 6228611435 | Meiosis | Produces cells that are different genetically | 19 | |
| 6228614681 | Asexual reproduction | Has the advantage of producing offspring in greater numbers, with no partner required | 20 | |
| 6228623232 | 46 pairs of chromosomes | How many pairs of chromosomes present in humans | 21 |
