Chapter 13 Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles Review
  1. In reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by fission or by .
     
     
     
     
  2. In reproduction, two parents produce offspring that have unique combinations of inherited from each parent.
     
     
     
     
  3. Genes are located on chromosomes, which can be visualized under the loght microscoped and arranged in ordered pairs called a .
     
     
     
     
  4. are sex cells that are produced in organs called by meiosis.

  5. Since meiosis reduces the number of chromosome sets from to , two cellular divisions are required, preceded by a single .
     
     
     
     
    • Meiosis I is the chromosome division.
       
       
       
       
    • Meiosis II then produces haploid daughter cells.

    Summary: difference between mitosus and meiosis.
     
     
     
     
  6. Sexual reproduction produces genetic by several mechanisms: independent , crossing , and random fertilization.
