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 |
