BIOL 1101 Final
Pre-Class Notes, Nov 24
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are gametes? | two specialized cells, each contain one set of chromosomes, form together to make a zygote |
| What is meiosis? | nuclear division to create haploid from diploid |
| What happens at prophase 1? | nuclear envelope breaks down and proteins with chromosomes bring pairs together |
| What is the synaptonemal complex | lattice of proteins between homologous chromosomes on top of each other |
| what is synpasis? | tight pairing of homologous chromosomes |
| What does synapsis allow for? | crossing over to happen? |
| What are tetrads? | at the end of prophase 1, 4 sister chromatid pairs are now each visible |
| What is the key event at prometaphase 1? | attachment of spindle fiber microtubules to the kinetochore proteins at centromeres |
| What are kinetochore proteins? | centromeres of a chromosome TO microtubules of mitotic spindle |
| Where are the chromosomes at metaphase 1? | homologous chromosomes arranged at metaphase plate |
| How are homologous pairs oriented at the equator? | randomly, second time genetic diversity happens (after crossing-over) |
| What happens at anaphase 1? | chiasmata broken apart, allowing the homologous chromosomes to be pulled apart |
| What happens at telophase 1 and cytokinesis? | similar to regular mitosis telophase and cytokineses, BUT each chromosome are still sister chromatids after separating |
| What are the cells considered after telophase 1 and cytokinesis? | haploid because there is only one chromosome set |
| What can occur before meiosis II starts? | interkinesis - no S phase but similar o before |
| What happens at prophase II? | chromosomes recondense, nuclear envelope fragments into vesicles, new spindles are formed |
| What happens at prometaphase II? | nuclear envelope fully breaks down, spindle fully formed, sister chromatid forms kinetochore attaching to microtubules from opposite poles |
| What occurs at anaphase II? | sister chromatids are pulled apart by kinetochore microtibulues -> move toward opposite poles |
