5. Meiosis Flashcards
sexual reproduction is the formation of ___ that is product of ___, and it _____ occur without the ______ process
gametes, meiosis
CANNOT , mitotic
body cells are call ____ cells, they are __ specialized for _____ / these cells are divided by _____
somatic
NOT reproduction
mitosis
somatic cells are _____ _____ of one another and each somatic cell will have #__ copies of the same ______ called _______ ____
genetic copies
2. chromosomes
homologous pairs
homologous pairs are the same _____ but contain slightly different forms of the genes in that ______
chromosome
somatic cells are ____ because they have ______ ______ that have 2 copies of the same chromosome
diploid
homologous pairs
______ is the process that produces ______ cells, these cells contain #__ copy of each chromosome
meiosis
haploid
1
the haploid chromosome # is ___ and the diploid chromosome # is __, why?
1
2
they have 2 copies of each chromosome
_____ cells are the result of fertalization
diploid
______ cell (n) + _____ cell (n) = ______ cell (2n)
haploid = haploid = diploid
the formation of ___ involves the process of taking a ____ cell with 2 copies of each chromsome and turning it into a _____ cell so that when a ____ cell from dad and a _____ cell from mom defuse together it will become a ____ organism once again
(2 / 1 and 1 then 1 + 1 = 2)
gametes , diploid
haploid
haploid
diploid
_____ is the process that produces _____ cells, so it takes the ____ nucleus and through #__ separate round of ______ _______ producing #___ _______ cells.
meiosis , haploid cells , diploid
2 cell diviso n
4 haploid cells
meiosis has #___ ______ ____ but ____ is only replicated ONCE
2 nucelar divisons
DNA
____ reduces the ______ # from diploid tp haploid (2n - n) and this process is ___ (making sure each gamete/prodcut from both cell divisions has the exact right amount of chrosmomes) and it creates a lot of _______ ________ in the products
meiosis , chromsome
orderly
genetic diversity
***** Meisos does 3 things NAME THEM
- reduce chromosome number (diploid to haploid/ 2n to n)
- orderly (makes sure each haploid produces the right set of chromosomes)
- creates genetic diversity
**** why is genetic diversity important?
gives organism a leg iup in a changing environment
EXAMPLE
if we are all clones and had the same genes IF a deadly disease was to come in and we lack resistance WE ALL DIE
BUT because we are all differently genetically coded @ least ONE of us could SURVIVE the deadly disease
SO we don’t all go extinct
we now know meiosis is the formation of gametes so your taking #__ ____ cell with _____ _____ and dividing it once and THEN AGAIN this process is called ….
1 diploid duplicated DNA
