Meiosis

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-   reproductive cells  
🗑
Haploid-   single set of chromosomes in gamete cells produced by ovaries and testies  
🗑
Diploid cell-   cell formed by egg and sperm coming together, single cell  
🗑
Zygote-   fertilized egg  
🗑
Somatic cells-   diploid, 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent  
🗑
Autosomes-   a chromosome not directly involved in determining sex  
🗑
Sex chromosomes-   determines sex of a child  
🗑
Homologous chromosome-   two chromosomes of pair with the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern  
🗑
Karyotype-   a pair of homologous replicated chromosomes  
🗑
Meiosis 1-   separates homologous chromosomes  
🗑
Prophase 1-   spindle forms, chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope breaks down  
🗑
Metaphase 1-   pairs of chromosome arrange in a line  
🗑
Anaphase 1-   homologous chromosomes separate and head towards poles  
🗑
Telophase 1 and cytokinesis-   two haploid cells form, each chromosome still has two sister chromatids  
🗑
Meiosis 2-   sister chromatids separate  
🗑
Prophase 2-   spindle forms, chromosomes begin to drift toward metaphase plate  
🗑
Metaphase 2-   chromosomes position in a line, crossing over causes these chromosomes to be genetically different  
🗑
Anaphase 2-   sister chromatids split, moving as individual chromosomes towards poles  
🗑
Telophase 2 and cytokinesis-   nuclei form, chromosomes condense, four genetically different daughter cells form  
🗑
Crossing over-   occurs in metaphase 2, causes chromosomes to be genetically different  
🗑
Random fertilization-   a way of genetic variation by the sperm randomly selecting egg cells  
🗑
Independent assortment-   random grouping together of chromosomes at metaphase 1 that causes genetic variance  
🗑


   

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.
