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. Contain only one chromosome from each matched pair






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






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






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






6. After 2 nuclear divisions in meiosis - _______ result






7. The chromosome number is ______ by a process called Meiosis






8. Reduced 1/2 set






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
