CSET Meiosis

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. Complete set






2. Yes cell divides and duplicates everything






3. Sex cells or gametes go through meiosis






4. The fusion of an egg and a sperm






5. Reduced 1/2 set






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






7. Cells are different






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






9. 2 divisions in meiosis






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






11. Contain only one chromosome from each matched pair






12. Same for both






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






14. A zygote has a _________ chromosome number






15. 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
