Meiosis Worksheet 1. A cell with two pairs of each set of chromosomes is called a ________ cell: Diploid 2. A cell with only one of set of chromosomes is called _______ cell. These types of cells are found in the reproductive organs and are called _____ cells: Haploid Germ 3. Diploid cells are typically found throughout the body tissues and are called _______ cells: Somatic 4. Sperm and egg cells are called _______: Gametes 5. A fertilized egg is a ________: Zygote 6. A type of cell division that results in diploid cells: Mitosis 7. A type of cell division that results in haploid cells: Meiosis 8. When a sperm and egg combine, it is called _______: Fertilization 9. What is the diploid number for humans: 46 10. What is the haploid number for humans: 23 11. Matching chromosomes are called _________ pairs: Homologous chromosome 12. During prophase 1 of meiosis, these pairs form a tetras in a process called ______: Synapsis 13. When homologous chromosomes exchange genes, it is called _______: Crossing over 14. How many daughter cells are created at the end of meiosis 1: 2 15. How many daughter cells are created at the end of meiosis 2: 4 16. During meiosis , chromosomes will split into daughtercells randomly, making each gamete unique. This is called ________: Independent assortment 17. What separates in meiosis 1: Homologous separates 18. What separates in meiosis 2: Sisterchromatids separate 19. In what phase does homologous chromosomes pair up and form tetrad: Prophase 1 20. In what phase does the spindle fibers move homologous chromosomes to opposite sides: Anaphase 1 21. What phase does crossing over occur: Prophase 1 22. In what phase does chromatids separate: Anaphase 2 23. In what phase does homologs line up along equator: Metaphase 1 24. What phase does nuclear membrane reforms, cytoplasm divides, and 4 daughter cells are formed: Telephase 2 25. In what phase does cytoplasm divides, and 2 daughter cells are formed: Telophase 1 1/2 26. In what phase does chromosomes line up along equator, not in homologous pairs: Metaphase 2 2/2
