Diploid cells in humans have how many chromosomes? | 46 |
Haploid cells have ___ chromosomes | 23 |
2 cells are made after the cell cycle | cytokinesis |
Involves 2 nuclear divisions | meiosis |
Homologous chromosomes pair up and then seperate (meiosis I or II) | Meiosis I |
Chromatids of each chromosome seperate (Meiosis I or II) | Meiosis II |
(Meiosis)precedes meiosis, chromosomes replicate | interphase |
(Meiosis) chromosomes very visible, nuclear membrane disappears, centrioles divide and migrate downwards while producing spindle fibers and asters, homologous chromosomes pair up, tetrads now exist(synapsis), crossing over and genetic variation occurs | Prophase I |
Pairs of homologous chromosomes | tetrads |
causes genetic variation | crossing over |
(Meiosis) Tetrads line up at equator | Metaphase I |
(Meiosis) Paired homologous chromosomes seperate and migrate to opposite poles | Anaphase I |
(Meiosis)Homologous chromosomes have reached opposite ends. Cytoplasm splits and two new cells form through cytokinesis | telophase I |
Is there an Interphase II in meiosis? | Sometimes |
Are chromosomes replicated in Interphase II? | No |
(Meiosis) No replication, no tetrads | Prophase II |
(Meiosis) Paired chromosomes line up in the middle of the sister cells | Metaphase II |
(Meiosis)Paired chromatids seperate and become chromosomes | Anaphase II |
(Meiosis)Nuclear Membrane reappears, four nuclei | Telophase II |
(Meiosis)Four unidentical haploid daughter cells | Cytokinesis II |

1 trait is crossed | monohybrid cross |
2 traits are crossed | dihybrid crosses |
3 or more traits are crossed | polyhybrid cross |
offspring are identical to parents | parental types |
offspring are unlike either parent | recombinant types |
When the dominant trait completely maskes the recessive trait | complete dominance |
In a heterozygous cross, when the outcome is in between the dominant and recessive traits | incomplete dominance |
when both traits show in a heterozygous cross | codominance |
Male Sex chromosomes | XY |

chromosome which is NOT a sex chromosome | autosome |
Trait linked to the sex chromosome | sex linked trait |
Trait NOT linked to a sex chromosome | autosomal trait |
cross with a known recessive to determine an unknown genotype | test cross |
