MEIOSIS WORKSHEET
A. Underline the correct word.
1. A cell with two pairs of each set of chromosomes is called a [diploid / haploid] cell. These cells are typically found throughout
the body tissues and are called [germ / somatic] cells.
2. A cell with only one of set of chromosomes is called [diploid / haploid] cell. These types of cells are found in the reproductive
organs and are called [germ / somatic] cells.
3. Sperm and egg cells are called [gametes / zygotes]. A fertilized egg is a [gamete / zygote].
4. A type of cell division that results in diploid cells: [meiosis / mitosis]
5. A type of cell division that results in haploid cells. [meiosis / mitosis]
6. When a sperm and egg combine, it is called _______________________________
7. What is the diploid number for humans? _______ What is the haploid number? _______
8. Matching chromosomes are called _____________________________________ pairs.
9. During prophase I of meiosis, these pairs form a tetrad in a process called ______________________.
10. When homologous chromosomes exchange genes, it is called: ______________________________.
11. How many daughter cells are created at the end of meiosis I? _______ meiosis II? ______
12. During meiosis, chromosomes will split into daughter cells randomly, making each gamete unique. This is called
_____________________________________________________.
13. The process by which sperm are made is called ____________________________________________.
14. The process by which eggs are made is called ______________________________________________.
15. During the creation of an oocyte, 3 additional haploid cells are created that will not be fertilized, these cells are called
________________________________________________.
B. Label the Phases
