5970803586	asexual reproduction	a type of reproduction that is similar to cloning, all organisms have identical DNA	4
5970803587	meiosis	cell division process that occurs to produce gametes, results in four different haploid cells	5

5970803589	sperm	the type of gamete found in males	7
5970803590	eggs	the type of gamete found in females	8
5970803591	ovaries	meiosis occurs in this organ in females	9
5970803592	testes	meiosis occurs in this organ in males	10
5970803593	prophase I	the phase in meiosis where the chromatin condenses into chromosomes and forms homologous pairs.	11
5970803594	prophase I	the phase in meiosis where crossing over occurs	12
5970803595	crossing over	the exchange of genetic material between non sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes	13
5970803596	non sister chromatids	crossing over occurs between these	14
5970803597	metaphase I	the phase in meiosis where homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell	15
5970803598	independent assortment	the phenomenon where homologous chromosomes align along the metaphase plate independently of one another	16
5970803599	anaphase I	the phase in meiosis where homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides	17
5970803600	telophase I	the phase in meiosis where two new haploid nuclei are formed	18
5970803601	metaphase I	the phase in meiosis where independent assortment occurs	19
5970803602	diploid	two sets of chromosomes	20
5970803603	haploid	one set of chromosomes	21
5970803604	prophase II	the phase in meiosis were the chromatin condenses into chromosomes	22
5970803605	metaphase II	the phase in meiosis where the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell	23
5970803606	anaphase II	the phase in meiosis where the chromosomes are split into chromatids	24
5970803607	telophase II	the phase in meiosis where two new nuclei are formed, resulting in four haploid cells	25
5970803608	s phase	the phase of interphase where the DNA is duplicated	26
5970803609	g1 phase	the phase of interphase where the cell grows	27
5970803610	g2 phase	the phase of interphase where the cell continues to grow and correct errors in DNA replication	28
5970803611	zygote	a fertilized egg, it is diploid	29
5970803612	budding	a type of asexual reproduction performed in yeast where a new identical organism buds off an anatomical point of the original organism	30
5970803613	fertilization	the joining of an egg and a sperm	31
5970803614	parthenogenesis	a type of asexual reproduction where an unfertilized egg develops into an identical female offspring	32
5970803615	sprouting	a type of asexual reproduction where an identical offspring develops from a shoot of a root or a stump	33
5970803616	nondisjunction	occurs in anaphase 1, when a homologous chromosome fails to separate, or in anaphse 2, when a chromosome fails to separate	34
5970803617	down syndrome	trisomy 21, a child is born with mental retardation and elfish features	35
5970803618	edward's syndrome	trisomy 18, a child is born with severe defects, most die within the first year	36
5970803619	turner syndrome	a child is born with a single x chromosome, develops as a female, is small in stature, and is sterile	37
5970803620	klinefelter's syndrome	a child is born with xxy, develops as a male with subtle female characteristics such as wide hips and enlarged breasts	38
