cell division to produce sex cells, four haploid cells. In meiosis there are two divisions and the chromosome number is halved.
Back
Card 27
Front
A cell with only one of each chromosome. Gametes/Sex cells are haploid.
Back
Card 28
Front
The cell divides (see mitosis), and then divides again, leaving four genetically different haploid gametes.
Back
Card 29
Front
When two haploid sex cells (a sperm and an egg) combine. They form a diploid zygote.
Back
Card 30
Front
The zygote inherits alleles from both parents. Th combination controls the characteristics of the zygote. Which allele is expressed depends on whether the allele is recessive or dominant, and whether the zygote is homozygous or heterozygous.
