Question
Answer
meiosis   Gonadal process creates 4 genetically diff. haploid gametes (eggs&sperm)  
🗑
Haploid (n)   Cell with SINGLE set of chromosomes (eg. Human egg or sperm (n-23))  
🗑
Gametes   Term for SEX cells (n); egg or sperm;  
🗑
Fertilization   Another term for SYNGAMY or union of gametes (sperm & egg)  
🗑
Zygote (2n)   Fertilized egg after UNION of the gametes (2n=diploid #chrom)  
🗑
Karyotype   Visual display of 23 homologous pairs of chrom. (one set from each part)  
🗑
Homologous Chromosomes   matching pair of chromosomes; one from each parent  
🗑
Gonads   Sex organs (ovaries or testes); site of meiosis and gamete production  
🗑
Sex Chromosomes   23rd pair of chromosomes; determine sex: XX (female); XY (male)  
🗑
Crossing Over   Exchange of genes between two NON-sister chromatids during Prophase I  
🗑
Prophase I   Homologous chromosomes synapse; form tetrads; crossing over occurs  
🗑
Chiasmata   Visible "X" shaped regions= crossovers between 2 non-sister chromatids  
🗑
Metaphase I   Homol. chromosomes alight OPPOSITe; spindles attach to only one side  
🗑
Locus   A gene's specific LOCATION along a given chromosome  
🗑
Allele   Version of a GENE carried at a particular location along chromosome  
🗑
Anaphase I   Homologous chromosomes separate; called reduction division (2n->n)  
🗑
Metaphase II   Sister chromatids align in middle; spindle fibers to both sides of centromere  
🗑
Anaphase II   Sister chromatids separate to opposite poles -> 4 haploid nuclei  
🗑
Random Assortment   Shuffling of homologous chromosomes at Metaphase I ->gen. variety  
🗑
2^n   # of gamete types from (n) pairs of homolgous chromosomes; 2 ^23= 8x 10^6  
🗑
Genetic Recombination   New combinatiosn of genetic material as a result of crossover Prophase I  
🗑
Gene   Term for an HEREDITARY UNIT at givenlocation on chromosome  
🗑
Animals   Organisms: Meiosis creates GAMETES, which soon untie -> 2n zygote  
🗑
Diploid (2n)   Contains full chromosome complement: 1/2 from each parent  
🗑
Genome   Complete set of human genes (38,000) is called the human _______  
🗑
Fern   Organism where meiosis creates thousands of genetically different spores  
🗑
Lige begets LIKE only applies to ASEXUAL reproduction   TRUE  
🗑
The specificic LOCATION of a GENE is called the LOCUS   True  
🗑
The nucleus of FERTILIZED EGG always has the 2x the DN as taht for either GAMETE   TRUE  
🗑
In ANIMALS, MEISOSI serves to produce staggering numbers of varied GAMETES   TRUE  
🗑
A pair of HOMOLOGOUS chromosomes = SISTER chromatids   FALSE(homologous pairs)  
🗑
Union of gametes=SYNGAMY --another term for FERTILIZATION   T  
🗑
MEIOSIS creates two IDENTICAL daughter cells   F  
🗑
MEIOSIS can only occur in DIPLOID (2n) organizsm   T  
🗑
ANAPHASE I causes spearation of SISTER chromadis   F  
🗑
ANAPHASE II causes separation of HOMOLOGOUS chromosomes   F  
🗑
ANAPHASE II causes separation of HOMOLOGOUS chromosomes   T  
🗑
For FEMALES, meiosis is complete at OVULATION   F (fertilization)  
🗑
For MALES, the end of meiosis + maturation = FOUR genetically different & viable SPERMATOOZA   True  
🗑
for FEMALES< fertilization of SECONDARY OOCYTE by a sperm must occur to complete meisos   TRUE  
🗑
For FEMALES, meisos produces FOUR potential ova   Fales (one  
🗑
During PROPHASE I of MEIOSIS, HOMOLOGOUS pairs alight (gene to gene) forming TETRADS   T  
🗑
During PROPHASE I of meiosis, rossing over occurs between non sister chromatids   F  
🗑
METPAHSASE I : HOMOLOGOUS chromosomes RANDOMLY arrange OPPOSITE in middle of cell   T  
🗑
metaphase of MITOSIS, homolgous chromosomes ignore each other; no crossover occurs   T  
🗑
NO CROSSOVER occurs during 2nd Meiotic Division   T  
🗑
