| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Heredity is | the concept of passing genes on from generation to generation |
| what are gametes | reproductive cells / sex cells created during meiosis |
| what is the male gamete | haploid sperm celll |
| what is the female gamete | haploid egg/ovum cell |
| what is a haploid cell | cells that only contain one set of chromosomes sperm or egg cells |
| haploid cells are formed by the process of | meiosis |
| what is the purpose of meiosis | to create variation within the population |
| meiosis involves | ONE round of DNA replication TWO rounds of cellular division |
| crossing over | homologous chromosomes share genetic material by exchanging bits of DNA |
| independent assortment | the way chromosomes line up doesn't have to be separated like a wedding mom side and dad side can mix up anyway |
| random fertilization | you can not choose the egg nor the supreme which means parents can not create the same child |
| what is the role of meiosis 1 | to reduce the number of chromosomes by half |
| what is the role of meiosis 2 | to separate sister chromatids so each daughter cell gets one copy |
| what is the first difference between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2 | during interphase DNA is copied before meiosis 1 but it is not copied before meiosis 2 |
| what is the second difference between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2 | prophase 1- synapsis / crossing over prophase 2- no crossing over |
| what is the third difference between Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2 | Anaphase 1- homologous chromosomes seperate Anaphase 2- chromatids separate |
| what part of meiosis results in the reduction of chromosomes number | separation of homologous partners in anaphase in anaphase 1 so each daughter cell gets a maternal or paternal chromosome and not both |
| describe the daughter cells resulting from meiosis | 4 haploid daughter cells genetically different from each other and parent |
| in what phase does homologous chromosomes separate during meiosis | anaphase 1 |
| what process occurs during meiosis that causes daughter cells to be haploid | separation of homologous chromosomes during anaphase 1 decreases the chromosome number from diploid to haploid |
| how does crossing over increase genetic diversity | different combos of maternal and paternal alleles. together on the same chromosomes |
| what is an allele | one of two pieces of genetic information that make up a gene determine distinct traits located at a specific position on a specific chromosome |
| an individual inherits how many alleles | two for each gene one from each parent |
| True-breeding | Organisms that produce offspring of the same variety over many generations of self-pollination/self-fertilization |
| what is commonly found within the world for true breeding | asexual reproduction to keep the bloodline pure |
| P generation | the Parents usually the beginning genotypes presented |
| when is independent assortment present | at random in metaphase 1 not a wedding |
| when chromosomes form an x they are referred to as | sister chromatids which in anaphase 2 are separated |
| f1 generation | the first offspring derived from the parents |
| f2 generation | the offspring derived from the f1 generation usually 34d |
| law of segregation | two alleles for each gene will separate during misosis; homologous chromosomes in each gamete |
| father of heredity | geroge Mendel |
| monohybrid | organism that is heterozygous |
| Pt | monohybrid |
| PpTt | dihyprid |
