Problem 1

Choose the correct term from each pair: Meiosis creates cells with half/equal/double the DNA of the parent cell. Specifically, each gamete contains only one set/two sets of chromosomes.

Problem 3

Choose the correct term from each pair: The specialized cells in the ovaries and testes that produce the gametes start off as haploid/diploid cells. Once they divide by meiosis/mitosis, they produce the haploid/diploid gametes (egg or sperm). When an egg and sperm fuse in sexual reproduction, it creates a haploid/diploid zygote cell.

Problem 6

Choose the correct term from each pair: The cell that divides by meiosis to create the gametes is haploid/diploid because it contains one set/two sets of chromosomes (referred to as a haploid/diploid cell). The resulting gametes (either egg or sperm) contain one set/two sets of chromosomes and are called haploid/diploid cells.

Problem 9

Meiosis creates gametes with different genetic combinations through the process of (when segments of two homologous chromosomes swap with one another) and (the homologous chromosomes line up in a different pattern during metaphase I).
