Answer:
【Answer】: 1. Diploid 2. Haploid 3. Yes 4. Yes 5. No 6. Mitosis 7. Mitosis 8. Meiosis
【Explanation】: 1. Parent cells are diploid because they contain two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
2. At the end of the process, each daughter cell is haploid because it contains only one set of chromosomes.
3. Synapsis and crossing over occur during meiosis, specifically in the prophase I stage.
4. Crossing over also occurs during meiosis, specifically in the prophase I stage.
5. Synapsis does not occur during mitosis.
6. Cell repair involves mitosis because it is a process of asexual reproduction where the cell divides and replicates its DNA to produce two identical daughter cells.
7. Budding also involves mitosis because it is a form of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud on another one.
8. Sexual reproduction involves meiosis because it is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process occurs in two phases: meiosis I and meiosis II.
