Meiosis Worksheet

( \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 of 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 ________________________________________________.
  16. Label the Phases:
