Biology -Meiosis

Meiosis and Mendel chap 6

QuestionAnswer
somatic cells body cells; make up most of your body tissues and organs.
gametes sex cells; ova (eggs), spermatoza (sperm cells)
homologous chromosomes two chromosomes; one from mother, one from father
autosomes chromosomes that contain genes for characteristics not related to sex
sex chromosomes X and Y ; XX = female ; XY is male they are the 23rd chromosomes
sexual reproduction fusion of two gametes that results in offspring - egg and sperm -
fertilization the actual fusion of an egg and sperm
diploid cell has two copies of each chromosome (2n) chromosome 46
haploid cell has only one copy of each chromosome human egg or sperm has 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome egg = X chromosome sperm = X or Y
Meiosis nuclear division divides a diploid into haploid cells essential for sexual reproduction pg. 174, 175
Meiosis I Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I
Meiosis II Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II
Gametogenesis the production of gametes; eggs or sperm
polar bodies smaller cells that contain little more than DNA
traits characteristics that are inherited - eye color, ect
cross mating of organisms
purebred genetically uniform
Mendel genetics; inheritance in pea plants
law of segregation organisms inherit two copies of each gene only one copy of a gene goes into an organism's gametes the two copies of a gene separate - or segregate
gene piece of DNA that stores instructions to make a certain protein
allele any of the different forms of a gene
homozygous two alleles of a gene are the same
heterozygous the two alleles are different
dominant
recessive
genotype set of alleles an organism has for a trait
phenotype what the trait looks like
genome all the genetic material
