Heredity - Transmission of traits from 1 generation to the next
Variation - Comes with inherited similarity, offspring differ somewhat in appearance from parents and
siblings
Genetics - Scientific study of heredity and hereditary variations
Genes - Hereditary units that parents endow their offspring, segments of DNA
Gametes - Reproductive cells in plants and animals
Asexual Reproduction - 1 parent passes on all DNA, usually single celled eukaryotic cells
Clone - Genetically identical individual, produced by asexual reproduction
Sexual Reproduction - 2 parents, genetic variation -- family resemblance but not exact replicas
Life Cycle - Generation-to-generation sequence of stages in the reproductive history of an organism.

Autosome - The other chromosomes (44) -- 22 paired chromosomes
Fertilization - The union of gametes resulting fusion of their nuclei
Zygote - Diploid egg that results from fertilization
Meiosis - Cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes from 2 to 1 in gametes, compensates
for doubling in fertilization
Sporophyte - Multicellular diploid stage, meiosis produces 2 haploid cells (Spores)
Spores - 2 haploid cells produced with sporophyte, divide with meiosis
Gametophyte - Spores divide with mitosis, creating multicellular haploid stage (produces gametes).
Meiosis 1 - Separates homologous chromosomes. Includes Prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1,
telophase 1 and cytokinesis
Meiosis 2 - Separates sister chromatids, includes Prophase 2, metaphase 2, anaphase 2, telophase 2, and
cytokinesis.
Synapsis - Process of synaptonemal complex, homologouses are lined up and physically connected like a
zipper
