Meiosis, sexual reproduction, stem cells

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Gametes   special cells used in sexual reproduction  
🗑
somatic cell   all diploid cells that are not gametes  
🗑
zygote   fertilized eggs formed form the joining of the gametes  
🗑
prophase1   chromatin makes copy of itself & begins to coil up  
🗑
metaphase 1   homologous pairs of chromosomes line up together at the miidle of the cell  
🗑
Anaphase 1   homologous chromosomes move to opposite end  
🗑
telophase 1   spindle fiber disappear & cell divides from cytokinesis  
🗑
Prophase 2   centriole doubles spindle fiber forms  
🗑
metaphase 2   chromosomes line in middle  
🗑
Anaphase 2   Individual chromatids move to opposite ends  
🗑
Telophase 2   -2 daughter cells divides into 4 new daughter cells -each new daughter cell has 23 chromosomes -this is 1/2 the number of original parent cell  
🗑
phenotype   observable characteristic of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment  
🗑
genotype   an organisms allele pairs  
🗑
haploid   cell with half the number of chromosomes (n) as a diploid (2n) cell  
🗑
fertilization   process by which haploid gametes combine , forming a diploid cell with 2n chromosomes , with n chromosomes from the female parent and n chromosomes from the male parent  
🗑
diploid   having two copies of each chromosome (2n)  
🗑
meiosis   reduction division process ,occurring only in reproductive cells , in which on diploid cell produce 4 haploid cells that are not genetically identical  
🗑
crossing over   exchange of chromosomal segments between a pair of homologous chromosomes during propase 1 of meiosis  
🗑
genetics   science of heredity  
🗑
allele   alternative form that a single gene may have for a particular trait  
🗑
dominant   Mendel's name for a specific trait that appeared in the F1 generation  
🗑
recessive   Mendel's name for a specific trait hidden or masked in the F1 generation  
🗑
homozygous   organism with two of the same alleles for a specific trait  
🗑
heterozygous   organism with two of different alleles for a specific trait  
🗑
law of segregation   Mendel's law stating that two alleles for each trait separate during meiosis  
🗑
hybrid   organism heterozygous for a specific trait  
🗑
law of independent assortment   Mendel's law stating that a random distribution of alleles occurs during the formation of gametes  
🗑
genetic recombination   new combination of genes produces by crossing over and independent assortment  
🗑
polyploidy   having one or more extra set of all chromosomes  
🗑
somatic stem cells   found throughout the body during development, they multiply to replenish dying cells and replace damage tissue  
🗑
stem cells   unspecialized cells that are characteristically of the same family type  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
