Question
Answer
Select all of the following that describe a homologous pair of chromosomes.   -can have different alleles -same light and dark banding patterns -same size  
🗑
A single molecule of DNA and its associated proteins form a   Chromosome  
🗑
A diploid cell is indicated by what abbreviation?   2n  
🗑
Select all the organisms that can produce gametes for sexual reproduction.   -ferns -bread molds -humans  
🗑
The abbreviation n or 1n represents a _______ cell.   Haploid  
🗑
Two chromosomes with the same size, centromere location, and gene sequence are called a(n) _________ pair   homologous  
🗑
Located in the ovaries and testes of animals, specialized cells called germ cells are ______ and undergo meiosis to produce ______.   diploid; gametes  
🗑
How many rounds of cell division occur in meiosis?   2  
🗑
In animals, specialized diploid cells that undergo meiosis are called   Germ Cells  
🗑
Select all of the following that are true about meiosis.   -produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes as compared to somatic cells -includes two cell divisions -creates four haploid cells from one diploid cell  
🗑
Select all of the mechanisms that generate genetic variability in sexual organisms.   -Random Fertilization -Crossing Over -Random orientation of chromosomes  
🗑
Crossing over is the process in which   homologous chromosomes physically exchange pieces.  
🗑
Dividing cells that contain only one chromosome from each homologous pair lined up singly at the equator of the cell must be undergoing:   Meiosis II  
🗑
Select all of the following that describe mitosis.   -results in 2 daughter cells -starts with a diploid cell and results in diploid cells  
🗑
What is a cell with a complete extra set of chromosomes called?   polyploid  
🗑
Crossing over is the process in which   homologous chromosomes physically exchange pieces.  
🗑
Select all of the following that can result from nondisjunction in humans.   -failed development due to missing genetic material -trisomy -an extra copy of a chromosome  
🗑
What occurs when chromosomes do not separate during meiotic divisions?   nondisjunction  
🗑
Nondisjunction of the ______ chromosome during meiosis can produce offspring that are XXX or XXY.   X  
🗑
Chromosomal __________ is an abnormality that results in the loss of one or more genes from a chromosome.   deletion  
🗑
In human males, specialized cells that are diploid and will enter meiosis I are called   primary spermatocytes.  
🗑
Select all of the following that are true about primary spermatocytes.   -produced by mitosis of spermatogonium -will enter meiosis I -diploid  
🗑
Select all of the following that are true about spermatids.   -specialize into mature sperm -haploid -equal-sized  
🗑
Select all of the following that are true about primary oocytes.   -produced by mitosis -diploid -will enter meiosis I  
🗑
In human males, specialized cells that are diploid and will enter meiosis I are called   primary spermatocytes.  
🗑
A crossover in meiosis is an exchange of genetic material between.....   nonsister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.  
🗑
Crossing over can occur during what phase of meiosis?   Prophase I  
🗑
If crossing over occurs between a homologous pair of chromosomes during meiosis, what will be present in the gametes?   Some chromatids will have parental combinations of alleles, and some chromatids will be recombinant.  
🗑
Random orientation of homologous chromosomes occurs in ________ of meiosis.   Metaphase I  
🗑
What pulls the chromosomes of a homologous pair to opposite poles?   Spindle Fibers  
🗑
Centromeres divide in   mitosis and meiosis II  
🗑
What describes meiosis II in humans?   haploid → haploid  
🗑
Arrange the following events in the proper order in which they occur during meiosis I.   1. Synapsis 2. Crossing Over 3. Random orientation along equator of cell 4. Separation of homologous chromosomes  
🗑
What is examples of Haploid Cells?   Gamete, Egg Cell, Sperm Cell  
🗑
What are examples of Diploid Cells?   Germ Cell, Somatic Cell, Zygote  
🗑
Each daughter cell produced in meiosis has   half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.  
🗑
The number of cells produced in meiosis is   twice the number of cells produced in mitosis.  
🗑
What is a correct sequence of cells in spermatogenesis?   spermatogonium → primary spermatocyte → secondary spermatocyte  
🗑
Then, in a process called random orientation, homologous chromosomes align _______-file at the center of the cell and then separate.   double  
🗑


   

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.
