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.

2. The fusion of an egg and a sperm






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






4. Same for both






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






6. Complete set






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






8. Sex cells or gametes go through meiosis






9. Yes cell divides and duplicates everything






10. Contain only one chromosome from each matched pair






11. 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
