homologous chromosomes
diploid
haploid
centromere
telomere
sister chromatids
3. What process leads to the production of sister chromatids, and when does it occur in the cell cycle?
4. Assuming that DNA replication is perfect, why does mitosis guarantee that the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell?
synapsis
tetrad
crossing-over
recombination
8. How do the processes of meiosis and fertilization, when performed correctly, guarantee that all individuals of a species have the same number of chromosomes (at the same stage of the life cycle)?
