Gamete
Definition
A sex cell (sperm or egg) produced by meiosis
Exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes
Having half the full chromosome number
Having the full set of chromosome pairs
The diploid cell formed when two gametes fuse at fertilization
Correct Answer
(1) Gamete,A sex cell (sperm or egg) produced by meiosis
(2) Haploid (n),Having half the full chromosome number
(3) Diploid (2n),Having the full set of chromosome pairs
(4) Crossover,Exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes
(5) Zygote,The diploid cell formed when two gametes fuse at fertilization
Explanation
Key meiosis vocabulary:
- Gamete - haploid sex cell (sperm or egg)
- Haploid (n) - half the chromosome number (e.g., 23 in humans)
- Diploid (2n) - full paired chromosome number (e.g., 46 in humans)
- Crossover - genetic recombination between homologous chromosomes; generates variation
- Zygote - diploid cell formed by fusion of two gametes; starting point of a new organism
