meosis
meiosis 10th grade
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| another term for meiosis | reduction division |
| fertilization | the joining of an egg and a sperm |
| 2n | diploid |
| zygote | fertalized egg |
| gamete | sex cell |
| tetrad | a group of four chromatids during prophase 1 of meiosis |
| the number of ceels produced by meiosis | 4 |
| haploid | cell that has only one chromosome of a pair |
| the number of eggs made in meiosis | 1 |
| ovaries | location where eggs are made |
| spermatolgenesis | formation of sperm in the testes |
| testes | location where sperm are made |
| sexual reproduction | type of reproduction that involves two parents. offspring are different |
| gametogenesis | the development of mature sex cells called gametes |
| male gonads | testes |
| female gonads | ovaries |
| female gamate | eggs |
| cleavage | results in the developing organism called the embryo |
| morula | solid ball of cells |
| blastula | hollow ball stage |
| gastrula | on side of the blastula pushes inward. this results in the formation of a second inner layer of cells (endoderm) |
| endoderm | inner cell layer of gastrula |
| ectoderm | outer layer of gastrula |
| mesoderm | between endoderm and ectoderm of gastrula |
| placenta | mammals get food from placent inside of the mothers uterus. exchange of nutrients, respritory gases, and wastes |
| gastrulation | differentiation of cells |
| disjunction | separation of homologous chromosomes during anaphase |
| homologous chromosomes | the chromosome of most organism cna be grouped into pairs of similar chromosomes in size and shape and have similar gentic content |
| synapsis | each pair of chromatids line up with homologous pair and they become fastened at the centromere and exchange gentic info |
| somatic cell | body cell |
| meiosis | a kind of cell divison that results in gametes with the half number of chromosomes as the parent |
| fertilization | the fusion of the nuclei of the male and female |
| zygote | single cell formed by fertilization |
| crossing-over | the exchange of genetic segments during the synapsis |
| gamete | two special sex cells |
| karyotype | pictures of chromosomes |
| gonads | testes and ovaries |
| homologous | chromosomes that are similar in size and shape |
| polar bodies | these will disintegrate after oogenesis |
