Question
Answer
What is the end result of meiosis and the subsequent fertilization of gametes?   An offspring with a chromosome complement unlike that of either parent  
🗑
When a sperm and egg combine, the resulting embryo has:   half of the mother's genetic information and half of the father's  
🗑
Some males have an abnormal karyotype consisting of 47 chromosomes with an extra Y chromosome. This condition is most likely caused by _____.   nondisjunction in the production of the male gamete  
🗑
Which event makes meiosis a reductional division and why?   separation of homologs in meiosis I because it produces 2 haploid (n) daughter cells from a single diploid (2n) parent cell. Separation of homologs results in a reduction in chromosome number.  
🗑
Which statement is FALSE concerning gametes produced by meiosis?   Gametes contain nonrandom combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes.  
🗑
How could you distinguish human mitotic cells from human meiotic cells?   By counting the number of daughter cells resulting from mitotic and meiotic division  
🗑
What are the (1) haploid number, (2) ploidy, and (3) total number of chromosomes?   Haploid: Number of distinct types of chromosomes in a cell (n) Ploidy: Combination of the number of sets, and n  
🗑
The karyotype of a trisomic individual is symbolized as ____.   2n+1  
🗑
A species has ten distinct types of chromosomes. A haploid cell of this species contains how many chromosomes?   10; Haploid cells only contain one copy of each chromosome.  
🗑
True, or False?: Down syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21   True  
🗑
