Biochem Week 3 Flashcards
Where does meiosis produce and where does it occur
Haploid gametes in spermatozoa in males and ovum in females.
Meiosis: Prophase 1
Crossover recombination
Region where crossover occurs in prophase 1
Chiasma…Chromosomes associate like tetrodes
Tetrodes align along the midline(equator of the cell)
Metaphase 1
Random segregation of homologous chromosomes to opposite poles
Anaphase 1
1 copy of chromosomes w/ each 2 sister chromatids
Telophase and cytokinesis
Alignment of sister chromatids
metaphase ii
Separation of sister chromatids x2
anaphase ii
how many chromosomes are left for the haploid gametes
23
How does genetic diversity of gametes occur
Cross over between homologous chromosomes during prophase 1 and random segregation of homologous chromosomes in anaphase 2
Male gametogenesis results in ____ genetically distinct ____
four; spermatozoa
Results in formation of one ovum and ___ polar bodies
Oogeneis 3
23 pairs of chromosomes come together and form 46 chromosomes i.e 2n
fertilization
M Phases
PMAT
G1 phase
growth and normal metabolic roles
S phases
DNA replication
G2 Phase
Growth and preparation for mitosis
Sister chromatids are linked at the
centromere
Spindle fibers appear and chromosomes condense
Prophase
Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes
Prometaphase
Chromosomes align
metaphase
centromeres divides and sister chromatids move to opposite poles
anaphase
Nuclear membrane reforms and chromosomes decondense and spindle fibers dissipate
Telophase
Cytoplasm divides and parent cell becomes 2 daughter cells w/ identical genetic information
Cytokinesis
