Question
Answer
haploid   half the normal compliment of chromosomes. Or SEx cell chromosomes.  
🗑
diploid   23 pairs of homologues chromosomes  
🗑
tetrad   a set of 4 chromatids  
🗑
synapsis   the making of a homologues pair  
🗑
dyad   sister chromatids  
🗑
chromosome   a set of chromatids holding all the genetic information for zygote.  
🗑
centromere   holds chromatids together  
🗑
spermatogonium   primitive stem cells for making sperm located at the tubule periphery (outside building in)  
🗑
Primary spermatocyte   destined to undergo meiosis. These cells grow towards the lumen of the tubules  
🗑
Secondary spermatocyte   after the first meiosis. dna doesnt replicate after this  
🗑
spermatids   soon to grow into sperm after spermiogenesis (or striping the extraneous cytoplasm)  
🗑
lydig (interstitial) cells   Outside tubules and release testosterone  
🗑
sertoli (sustentacular) cells   inside the cells, nuturing caring, squished, longish  
🗑
acrosome   helmet of sperm, has digestive enzyme that eats teh outer layer of the ovum  
🗑
midpiece   middle of sperm, had mitochondria used for energy  
🗑
tail of sperm   used to whip around for energy  
🗑
oogonium   egg stem cell  
🗑
primary oocyte   the prophase of meiosis I (growth phase)  
🗑
primordial follicles   1st follicle, squamous single layer cells  
🗑
primary folicle   2nd follicle when it changes to cuboidal cells, produces estrogens  
🗑
secondary oocyte   after the first meiosis division the daughter cells are produced. This one and another one very small called a polar body  
🗑
ovum   only an ovum and not a secondary oocyte when the sperm penetrates  
🗑
graafian follicle   where the egg is connected to the follicle at the top or any other place having a space in the follicle  
🗑
antrum   space between egg and inside of the outside of the graafian follicle  
🗑
zona pellucida   space between the egg and the granulosa cells  
🗑
granulosa cells   surrounds the egg in the graffian follicle  
🗑
corona radiata   when the egg comes out of the ovary  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
