During which process do diploid cells undergo two cell divisions that result in haploid cells?
Meiosis
What type of cells does mitosis produce?
Diploid cells
In meiosis, what separates during meiosis I?
Homologous chromosomes
What significant difference exists between meiosis and mitosis?
Meiosis produces gametes, while mitosis produces somatic cells.

Which scientist showed that traits are inherited as discrete units?
Gregor Mendel
'Gametogenesis' primarily differs between females and males in terms of:
The genetic material contributed to the embryo
'Purebred plants', 'control over breeding', and 'observation of seven 'either-or' traits' were key decisions made by Mendel in his experiments to establish:
