___________________________________________________________________
complete the missing part of the sentence(pg. 94)
During sexual reproduction, each
parent passes genes to his/her
offspring. The process of MEIOSIS
happens in the reproductive organs to
make this possible. Each parent can
only pass half the total number of
chromosomes to his/her offspring.
Define Body Cells:
These are the “parent” cells and
contain the total number
chromosomes required for each
organism.
Define SEX CELLS and fill in the
number of chromosomes in
each parent’s sex cell.
These are called HAPLOID cells.
Define Sex Cells: (pg. 96)
1. Skunk- 50 chromosomes
2. Mosquito-6 chromosomes
3. Corn- 20 chromosomes
4. Shrimp-90 chromosomes
5. Grasshopper-24 chromosomes
6. Human-46 chromosomes
