| Question | Answer |
| 1. Most cells in the body of a grasshopper have 22 chromosomes. In some cells 11 chromosomes are found. What process produced those cells? | Meiosis or Meiotic
|
2. Where are egg cells formed and where are sperm cells formed? | ovary AND Testis
| 3. What type of cell division produces haploid (1/2 of the chromosomes) cells? | Meiosis or Meiotic
| 4. Give one important difference (other than the number of parents) between sexual and asexual reproduction. | sexual reproduction more genetic variation
| 5. Fusion of male and female gametes is called: | fertilization
| 6. Why must gametes be haploid? | so you get half of genetic info from each parent

| 12. What process is occurring in the picture? | meiosis
| 13. What disease is caused by uncontrolled cell division? | cancer
| 14. Why is sexual reproduction advantageous to populations? | genetic variation
| 15. Name processes 1, 2 and 3. | meiosis, fertilization, mitosis
| 16. The diagram shows a body cell of an organism. Draw the cell that would result from meiotic cell division of this cell | 3 chromosomes
| 17. During which part of the cycle does the breakdown of the thickened uterine lining occur? | menstruation
| 18. On or about which day is the egg released from the ovary? | 14
| 19. Label part and 3 of the female reproductive system: | uterus,ovary
