what are chromosomes that carry the same kind of genes? homologous chromosomes
offspring that are different from both parents are produced by sexual reproduction
what are homologous chromosomes? chromosomes tht carry the same set of genes
what carries the genes that determie sex sex chromosomes
what is it called when cells are copied with half he number of chromosomes? meiosis
how are sex cells different from other body cells? sex cells have half as many chromosomes
people often go to genetic counselors to have a ___________ drawn to trace a disease that they do not want to pass on to their children pedigree
Only one parent cell is needed in ___________ reporduction asexual

In humans, what are the sex chromosomes of females? xx
In humans, what are the sex chromosomes of males? xy
explain the difference betwwen meiosis and mitosis division of the nucleus in a body cell in mitosis and produces sex cells in meiosis
Since sex cells only have half the chromosome cells that are found in a refular cell, how do they grow into cells that have a full sent of chromosomes? the sperm has 23 chromosomes and the egg has 23 chromosomes and when they come together they make 46 chromosomes.
how is a new cell at the end of meiosis different from the parent cell at the start of meosis?
It has 1/2 the number of chromosomes
air pocket between the inner and outer membranes: located at wide end of egg air cell
egg white:cushions the embryo and provides water and protein albumen
hard shell; protects the eggs contents, lets oxygen and carbon dioxide pass in and out of the egg eggshell
developing chick inside an egg embryo
membrane between the outer shell membrane and the albumen inner shell membrane
membrane between the eggshell and the inner shell membrane outer shell membrane
food source for the developing chick; attached to the middle of the embryo's gut yolk
small dot where fertilization occurs germinal disc
membrane that surrounds the yolk yolk (vitelline) membrane
