Q

Polygenic traits

A

Having many genes, ex: skin & eye color

16
Q

Homologous

A

Each of the 4 chromosomes from male parent has corresponding chromosome from female parent

17
Q

Meiosis

A

Process of reduction division where number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through separation of homologous chromosomes in diploid cell

18
Q

Tetrad

A

Structure where chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome

19
Q

Mitosis results

A

Results in production of two genetically identical diploid cells

20
Q

Meiosis results

A

Produces four genetically different haploid cells
