Chapter 13
 What is a Gene? What is the Locus for a Gene?
 Asexual vs. Sexual Reproduction
 Haploid vs. Diploid Cells
 Sex Chromosomes & Autosomes; what are Homologous Chromosomes? From whom did
you reach each?
 What is the Human sexual life cycle? How and where do we produce gametes? What
happens during fertilization and initial formation of a zygote?
 What happens during Meiosis I & Meiosis II? How are they different from each other?
 What is crossing over? When does it occur?
