Bio Lab Exam 1 Flashcards
Where does meiosis occur in animals
Occurs in in germinal tissue
Where does meiosis occur in plants
Spore-forming tissue
Gametes are…
Haploid- one half the chromosome number is most of the cells in the organism (n)
Somatic cells are…
Diploid-full complement of chromosomes (2n)
Zygotes are…
A union of gametes and are diploid
How many chromosomes does a human have
46, 2 pairs of 23
Dyad
Replicated chromosome
Monad
Unreplicated chromosome
Autosomes
22 chromosomes
Sex chromosomes
1 XX or XY
Homologous chromosomes
A pair of chromosomes (1 paternal and 1 maternal) that have the same gene loci
Held together by a centromere
Tetrad
Chromatin
Condensed chromosomes
Histone proteins
Prophase 1
Homologous pairs of chromosomes
1 maternal and 1 paternal pair up and from tetrads
Pairs of homologous chromosomes intertwine (synapsis)
Crossing over occurs as chromatids from homologous pairs of chromosomes swap genetic info that occurs at the chiasma
Metaphase 1
Tetrads align in the center of the cell and a spindle fiber attaches at the centromeres
Anaphase 1
Duplicated chromosomes aka dryads begin to migrate to the opposite ends of the cells
Reduction occurs each pole receives half number of chromosomes
Random assortment=genetic variation
Telophase 1
Pairs of daughter chromatids move to separate cells
Meiosis 2
No clear interphase between the first and second neurotic divisions
No additional chromosome duplication
Anaphase 2
Centromere divides and the 2 chromatids of each chromosome seepage and moves toward opposite poles
After separation, each chromatid becomes a chromosome
Telophase 2
Chromosomes separated into different cells
Mendels law of dominance
Some Alleles of a gene are dominant and other are recessive
One dominant allele=dominant trait
One recessive allele=recessive trait
Mendels law of segregation
Each gamete Carrie’s only one allele for each gene
Nondisjunction
Failure to segregate
Trisomy
Extra copy of chromosome
Monosomy
One copy of chromosome
Polyploid
Extra set of chromosomes
Mendels law of independent assortment
Genes for different traits segregate independently
PpSs double heterozygous
How do we find the gamete possibilities
FOIL
first outer inner last
Karyotype
A display of the chromosomes pairs of a cell arranged by size and shape
What are some karyotyping samples
Blood
skin and tissues
chorionic villi
amniotic fluid
Metacentric
Equal arms
Submetacentric
Unequal arms
P arm is shorter
Q arm is longer
Acrocentric
Centromere near one end
