Answer:

1. haploid

2. apoptosis

3. metaphase plate

4. Parthenogenesis

5. Meiosis

6. chiasma

7. Answers may vary. Meiosis results in four daughter cells, whereas mitosis produces only two daughter cells. Meiosis has two distinct phases, meiosis I and meiosis II, whereas mitosis takes place in a single cycle. Daughter cells in meiosis are genetically unique from one another. Mitotic daughter cells are genetically identical. Both mitosis and meiosis have similar basic steps (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase). Both mitosis and meiosis have cell cycle regulation mechanisms, including checkpoints and cell cycle regulators, which allow them to consistently produce normal cells
