mitosis,meiosis and one other process called....?

Question

this process joins 2 half sets of chromosomes from both parents, what is it called?

Answer 1

Fertilization.
Or are you asking about what happens in Prophase 1 of Meiosis? Homologous chromosomes, one from each parent pair.

Answer 2

And reproduction.
Sex cells contain only half of the hereditary material present in the body cells that form them. This is important because male and female sex cells ultimately join to become a fertilized egg, which gives rise to a new organism, or offspring. In order for the offspring to resemble its parents, its first cell must receive the entire genome from its two parents. For humans, we know there are 46 chromosomes in body cells existing as 23 pairs. A fertilized egg must therefore contain this same number and arrangement. In an elegant process called meiosis, each sex cell receives one member of each chromosome pair—23 total. When sperm fertilizes egg, these singles unite to reform pairs, with half the genome coming from each parent. With a few exceptions, this pattern holds true for all sexually reproducing organisms.

Answer 3

Meiosis: A two-part cell division process in organisms that sexually reproduce, which results in gametes with one-half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.

Mitosis: The process by which a cell divides and produces two daughter cells from a single parent cell.

Hope that helps.

Answer 4

photosynthesis?

mitosis and mieosis are the only ways cells reproduce.

Answer 5

it is called heridity i learned that in 7th grade and it is not a process it is really a trait

Answer 6

fusion: it is a cell division for cells that don't have a nucleolus
