Clue
Answer
Female sex cell
Egg
Male sex cell
Sperm
Type of reproduction in which two the genetic material of two different cells combine to produce and offspring
Sexual Reproduction
The process in which an egg cell and a sperm cell come together
Fertilization
The new cell that forms when a sperm cell and an egg cell come together
Zygote
Cell that has pairs of chromosomes
Diploid Cell
Pair of chromosomes that have genes for the same traits in the same order
Homologous Chromosomes
Cell that has one chromosome from each pair
Haploid Cell
The process in which one diploid cell devides in order to make four haploid sex cells
Meiosis
Clue
Answer
The phase of meiosis in which duplicated chromosomes condense, homologous chromosomes form pairs, the nucleolus disappears and the nuclear membrane breaks down.
Prophase 1
The phase of meiosis in which homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and a spindle fiber attaches to each one.
Metaphase 1
The phase of meiosis in which chromosome pairs are pulled to opposite ends of the cell. Sister chromatids stay together.
Anaphase 1
The phase of meiosis in which a nuclear membrane forms around each groups of chromosomes and cytoplasm divides in cytokinesis making two new daughter cells.
Telophase 1
The phase of meiosis in which chromosomes do not divide and sister chromatids remained condensed and thickened. The nucleolus disappears and the nuclear membrane breaks down. Happens in both cells that are seen in this stage.
Prophase 2
The phase of meiosis in which sister chromatids line up in the middle of the cell in single file. Happens in both cells that are seen in this stage.
Metaphase 2
The phase of meiosis in which the sister chromatids of each duplicated chromosome are pulled to either end of the cell by spindle fibers. Happens in both cells that are seen in this stage.
Anaphase 2
The final phase of meiosis in which a nuclear membrane forms around the groups of chromatids/chromosomes and the cytoplasm divides through cytokinesis making four haploid cells. Happens in both cells that are seen in this stage.
Telophase 2

Suggestions:

-Add a yellow box. For all the stages of meiosis you can just name them; you do not need to read their descriptions to answer the question.

-More freedom in type-ins. Example: Allow “homologous” for “homologous chromosomes”

-The descriptions for diploid and haploid cells are a little confusing. I would suggest the clues are “having the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell” for diploid, and “having half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell” for haploid.
