2. Sex Cells Gametes (germ cells) Eggs and Sperm Somatic Cells All other cells

3. Autosomes – same number in males and females Sex Chromosomes – X or Y Human females: XX Human males: XY Testosterone and other hormones from the Y make a male

4. 46 chromosomes (23 pairs)

5. Describes how many sets of different chromosomes a cell has. n = number of chromosomes in 1 set (haploid number) Haploid Cells: 1n Diploid Cells: 2n In humans, n = 23 (the number of different chromosomes we have) 32/16 62

9. In crossing over, nonsister chromatids exchange DNA segments. Each pair of chromosomes forms a tetrad, a group of four chromatids. Each tetrad usually has one or more chiasmata, X-shaped regions where crossing over occurred.
