3. Contain only one chromosome from each matched pair






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






5. 4 cells end of meiosis

9. Complete set






10. The fusion of an egg and a sperm






11. Yes cell divides and duplicates everything






12. After 2 nuclear divisions in meiosis - _______ result






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

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






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