Meiosis Ch 13
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| asexual reproduction | a single individual is the sole parent |
| sexual reproduction | two parents give rise to one offspring (2:1) |
| during sexual reproduction | meiosis reshuffles the existing genetic information to create mew genetic combinations |
| mutation | the only way that genetic variation can arise from asexual reproduction |
| clone | a group of genetically identical individuals resulting from asexual reproduction |
| gametes | meiosis results in the formation of haploid reproductive cells |
| zygote | two of these cells join by fertilization to form during sexual reproduction |
| fertilization | the union of two gametes to produce a zygote |
| if the diploid number for an animal cell is 20 how many chromosomes will a gamete of this animal have | 10 |
| animal | one multicellular stage that is diploid |
| plant | two multicellular stages, one diploid, the other haploid |
| fungus | one multicellular stage that is haploid |
| what three unique events take place during meiosis | 1. crossing over during Prophase I 2. alignment of homologous chromosomes during Metaphase I 3. separation of homologous chromosomes during Anaphase I |
| what does meiosis require | requires two rounds of cell division |
| what are the results of meiosis | results in four haploid daughter cells |
| are daughter cells genetically or physically different from each other | genetically |
| does DNA replicate between meiosis I and meiosis II | NO |
| how many rounds of cell division does meiosis require | 2 |
| during anaphase of meiosis, sister chromatids are pulled apart. during anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are pulled apart. TRUE OR FALSE | TRUE |
| list three ways that sexual reproduction results in genetic variation (genetically different offspring) | 1. crossing over 2. independent assortment of homologous chromosomes 3. random fertilization |
