Meiosis Worksheet : Label The Phases

A cell with two pairs of each set of chromosomes is called a diploid cell, which are found in body tissues. A cell with one set of chromosomes is called a haploid cell, which are found in reproductive organs. Sperm and egg cells, called gametes, undergo meiosis to become haploid. When a sperm and egg combine through fertilization, it forms a zygote. Meiosis results in haploid cells while mitosis results in diploid cells.

Meiosis Worksheet 🦉

1. A cell with two pairs of each set of chromosomes is called a [ diploid / haploid ] cell.
These cells are typically found throughout the body tissues and are called [ germ / somatic ] cells.

2. A cell with only one set of chromosomes is called [ diploid / haploid ] cell.
These types of cells are found in the reproductive organs and are called [ germ / somatic ] cells.
