meiosis

        Help!  

Question
Answer
gametes   (eggs and sperm) contain half the complement of chromosomes found in other cells  
🗑
fertilization   fusion of gametes  
🗑
zygote   contains two copies of each chromosome  
🗑
n = ? 2n = ?   23; 46  
🗑
Meiosis 1   separates the two homologs  
🗑
meiosis II   separates the two sister chromatids  
🗑
prophase I   chromosomes condense (coil); nuclear membrane breaks down; homologous chromosomes undergo synapsis (pair up); cross over occurs (recombination) and chromsomes exchange segments  
🗑
metaphase I   homologous chrosome pairs line up at random at the equatorial midline; microtubules attach to centromeres  
🗑
anaphase I   centromeres do not divide; homologs separate and move to opposite poles  
🗑
telophas I   nuclear membrane reforms; chromosomes uncoil; after cytokinesis two haploid cells are produced  
🗑
meiosis II   similar to mitosis but with two main differences: 1) Haploid set of chromosomes 2) Sister chromatids are not identical because of cross over  
🗑
Prophase II   chromosomes coil; spindle forms; nuclear membrane breaks down; each chromosome is composed of two sister chromatids attached at the centromere  
🗑
metaphase II   chromosomes line up on the midline and attach to spindle fibers  
🗑
anaphase II   centromeres divide; sister chromatids move to opposite poles  
🗑
telophase II   nuclear membrane reforms; chromosomes uncoil; after cytokinesis four unique haploid cells are produced.  
🗑
synapsis   homologous chromosomes pair along their lengths in prophase I; cross over  
🗑
reduction division   homologs separate in anaphase I reducing chromosome # to 1n- this produces haploid gametes  
🗑
3 key mechanism that increase genetic diversity   crossing over; independent assortment; random fertilization  
🗑
crossing over   DNA exchanges between chromatid pairs  
🗑
nondisjunction   members of a chromosome pair fail to separate during anaphase  
🗑
aneuploidy   -extra chromosome or missing a chromosome  
🗑
trisomy 21   Down syndrome - extra chromosome at chromosome 21  
🗑


   

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.
