( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

1. A cell with two pairs of each set of chromosomes is called a [ diploid / haploid ] cell.

    These cells are typically found throughout the body tissues and are called  [ germ / somatic ] cells.

2.  A cell with only one set of  chromosomes is called [ diploid / haploid ] cell.

     These types of cells are found in the reproductive organs and are called   [ germ / somatic ] cells.

3.  Sperm and egg cells are called [ gametes / zygotes ].  A fertilized egg is a [ gamete / zygote ].

4.  A type of cell division that results in diploid cells:   [ meiosis / mitosis ]

5.  A type of cell division that results in haploid cells.  [ meiosis / mitosis ] 

6.  When a sperm and egg combine, it is called _______________________________

7.  What is the diploid number for humans? _______   What is the haploid number? _______

8.  Matching chromosomes are called  _____________________________________ pairs.

9.  During prophase I of meiosis, these pairs form a tetrad in a process called ______________________.

10.  When homologous chromosomes exchange genes, it is called: ______________________________.

11.  How many daughter cells are created at the end of meiosis I? _______ meiosis II? ______

12.  During meiosis, chromosomes will split into daughter cells randomly, making each gamete unique.  This is called _____________________________________________________.
13.  The process by which sperm are made is called ____________________________________________.

14.  The process by which eggs are made is called ______________________________________________.

15.  During the creation of an oocyte, 3 additional haploid cells are created that will not be fertilized, these cells  are called ________________________________________________.
