1. Explain the difference between haploid and diploid. 2. The cell that results from fertilization of an egg is called a(n) ____________________. 3. What are the two events in meiosis that contribute to genetic variation? 4. What happens during these events?

Step 1
The main difference between haploid and diploid cells is the number of chromosome sets they contain. A haploid cell has a single set of chromosomes (n), while a diploid cell has two sets of chromosomes (2n). In general, haploid cells are formed during meiosis, and Show more…

1. Explain haploid & diploid chromosome number and know these numbers for humans. Describe what distinguishes diploid & haploid cells. 2. Define somatic cells and gametes by function and by chromosome number. 3. Explain homologous chromosomes. 4. Identify the purpose of meiosis. Describe and diagram in detail each phase of meiosis. Use pictures such as Figure 10.5 and 10.6 or simplified versions, or create your own simple picture of the process. Compare the daughter cells to the parent cell in terms of number of cells, number & types of chromosomes.

Does the parent cell in Mitosis start off as diploid or haploid? Are the resulting cells at the end of Mitosis diploid or haploid? Does the parent cell in Meiosis start off as diploid or haploid? Are the resulting cells at the end of Meiosis diploid or haploid? How does the number of chromosomes in sperm/egg compare with the number of chromosomes in the parent cell? Identify whether each process below occurs during mitosis, meiosis, or both. b. Haploid cells are formed c. Cell division occurs only once d. Homologous chromosomes pair e. 4 haploid cells are the final result g. Cell division occurs twice h. Replicated chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell i. 2 diploid cells are the final result
