Meisois
HBIO3 unit 6?
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Meiosis is | The process of making gametes |
Gametes are | reproductive cells - eggs and sperm |
Eggs are produced in | ovaries of biological females |
Sperm is produced in | testes of biological males |
In meiosis I (blank) separate | Homologous pairs |
In meiosis II (blank) separate | Sister chromatids |
Meiosis produces | Four haploid cells |
Causes of Genetic variation | -Crossing over -Independent assortment -Random egg/sperm -Random mutation |
A lot of genetic variation happens during | Meiosis and reproduction |
Crossing over is when | Homologous pairs exchange genes |
When does crossing over happen? | During prophase I |
Where does crossing over happen | The Chiasma |
Independent assortment is | When homologous chromosomes separate during anaphase I |
Blue eyes are an example of | Random mutation |
Meiosis I for females happens | In utero (produced in the womb, 5000ish in. each overy) |
Meiosis II for females begins | During puberty, 1 egg released each month (right and left take turns) |
Females have 2 (blank) chromosomes | x |
Males have a (blank) chromosome and a (blank) chromosome | x and y |
A zygote is a | fertilized egg (23+23=46 chromosomes) |
A polar body is | A daughter egg cell with 46 chromosomes but no cytoplasm or organelles |
A oocyte is | A daughter egg cell with 46 chromosomes and extra cytoplasm and organelles (from polar body) |
(blank number) of sperm is released per ejaculation (ew) | 600000000ish bc the journey is hard and only 1 is able to make it to the zygote |
