Crossing over - Exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
Homologous chromosomes - Pair of chromosomes containing genes for the same traits, one inherited from each parent.
Gametes - Sex cells (sperm or egg) that combine during reproduction to form a zygote.
Haploid - Cell that contains only one set of chromosomes (n), or half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell.
Diploid - Cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes, two copies of each chromosome (2n).
Meiosis - Cell division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Mutation - Changes in the DNA sequence of a gene or chromosome, which can lead to variations in traits.
