Mitosis
Prophase
Meiosis
Metaohase
Unit of inherited information in DNA
Haploid
Gene
Diploid
Zygote
When two parents produce offspring genetically different from each parent cell
Mitosis
Sexual reproduction
Meiosis
Chromosomes
Display of 46 chromosomes of human, 23 pairs of chromosomes resemble each other in size and shape.
Autotroph
Homologous
Karyotype
Heterotroph
The two chromosomes of each matching pair, carry same sequence of genes controlling same inherited characteristics
Sex chromosomes
Haploids
Homologous chromosomes
Diploids
23rd pair of chromosomes in human cells, determine gender of individual
Diploids
Sex chromosomes
Homologous chromosomes
Haploids
2 homologous sets of chromosomes in almost all human cells ; body cells called somatic cells; 46 in humans; 2n
