FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Gamete Noun
[gam-eet]
Back
Gamete
A reproductive cell, such as a sperm or ovum, that unites with another to form a zygote.
Example: This diagram shows the two types of gametes, sperm and egg, which are haploid (n). It illustrates how they combine to form a diploid (2n) fertilized egg.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Haploid Noun
[hap-loid]
Back
Haploid
A cell having a single set of unpaired chromosomes, or only one chromosome of each type.
Example: This diagram shows that a haploid cell (n) contains only one copy of each chromosome, unlike a diploid cell (2n) which has two copies.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Diploid Noun
[dip-loid]
Back
Diploid
A cell containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
Example: A diploid cell contains two complete sets of chromosomes (2n), with one set inherited from each parent, shown here as matching pairs.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Fertilization Noun
[fur-til-eye-zay-shun]
Back
Fertilization
The process in which two gamete cells, such as a sperm and egg, unite to form a zygote.
Example: This diagram shows a sperm cell combining with an egg cell, a process called fertilization, which results in the formation of a single cell called a zygote.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Zygote Noun
[zy-goat]
Back
Zygote
A diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes; a fertilized ovum.
Example: This diagram shows that when a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell, they combine to form a single new cell called a zygote.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Gonads Noun
[go-nads]
Back
Gonads
The primary reproductive organs that produce gametes; testes in males and ovaries in females.
Example: The image displays the two types of gonads: the testis (male) and the ovary (female), which are the body's main reproductive organs.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
SRY gene Noun
[ess-ar-why jeen]
Back
SRY gene
The gene located on the Y chromosome that causes embryonic gonads to develop into testes.
Example: The SRY gene, located on the Y chromosome, acts as a signal that causes the development of testes, the primary male reproductive organs.
