Subjects : cset, science, biology
Instructions:
  • Answer 22 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Contain pairs of chromosomes






2. Sex cells or gametes go through meiosis






3. The fusion of an egg and a sperm






4. Contain only one chromosome from each matched pair






5. Yes cell divides and duplicates everything






6. After 2 nuclear divisions in meiosis - _______ result






7. When 2 gametes join - the chromosome number is...






8. The egg and the sperm have a aploid chromosome number






9. Gives variations in species because of overcrossing Meiosis is a bit different because there something called crossing - over happens with the DNA. This crossing over is an exchange of genes. The genes are mixed up - not resulting in a perfect duplic
