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.

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






2. The fusion of an egg and a sperm






3. Have 1/2 # of chromosomes from parent cells (1/2 aploid)






4. Sexual reproduction of cells - Has 2 division cells - makes 2 complete sets
