spermatogenesisprocess of germ cells found in the testes becoming gametes
ovumunfertilized egg
spermhuman male gamete
independent assortmentprocess in Anaphase I that the homologous chromosomes separate randomly
crossing-overthe process in Prophase I that the homologous chromosomes exchange genes or pieces of chromosomes
nondisjunctionthe process in meiosis that chromatids do not separate during Anaphase II
trisomya cell that ends up with and extra chromosome because the chromatids failed to separate during Anaphase II
monosomya cell that is missing a chromosome because the chromatids during Anaphase II did not separate properly
translocationhappens during Prophase I when crossing over is not equal and a piece of a chromosome breaks over and attaches to another chromosome
deletionthe loss of a piece of chromosome during crossing over
sexual reproductionthe process when two parents combine gametes to form a zygote
