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.

1. 4 cells end of meiosis






2. Same for both






3. Complete set






4. Cells are different






5. Contain only one chromosome from each matched pair






6. Reduced 1/2 set






7. 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

13. Sex cells or gametes go through meiosis






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






15. Forms when one sperm cell gains an egg cell fertilize and make complete set






16. Yes overcrossing chromosomes interlink and exchange information in children overcrossing siblings look different
