Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles

QuestionAnswer
genetics scientific study of heredity and inherited variation
genes offspring with coded information in the form of hereditary units
gametes reproductive cells
asexual reproduction a single individual is the sole parent and passes copies of all its genes to its offspring without the fusion of gametes
clone a group of genetically identical individuals
homologous chromosomes carrying genes controlling same inherited characteristics
haploid cells single set of chromosomes; 23
fertilization union of gametes,culminating in fusion of their nuclei
what cells can undergo meiosis? diploid
Meiosis I main function separates homologous chromosomes
What stages are in Meiosis I? -Prophase I -Metaphase I -Anaphase I -Telophase I and Cytokinesis
Prophase I -centrosome movement, spindle formation -cross over: nonsister chromatids are broken and rejoined
Metaphase I -arranged homologous chromsomes, one pair facing each pole
Anaphase I -protein breakdown -homologs move opposite poles
Telophase I and Cytokinesis -haploids -cleavage furrow
Meiosis II main function separate sister chromatids
What stages are in Meiosis II? -Prophase II -Metaphase II -Anaphase II -Telophase II & Cytokinesis
Prophase II -form spindle apparatus
Metaphase II Metaphase plate
Anaphase II protein breakdown, allow chromatids to separate
Telophase II and Cytokinesis chromosomes begin decondensing , nuclei form

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
