Chapter 13 Flashcards
If a horticulturist breeding gardenias succeeds in having a single plant with a particularly desirable set of traits which of the following would be her most probable and efficient route to establishing a line of such plants
Clone the plant
Which of the following defines a genome
The complete set of an organisms genes and other DNA sequences
Asexual reproduction occurs during
Mitosis
Quaking aspen can send out underground stems for asexual reproduction sexual reproduction is not a common but when it does happen the haploid gamers have 19 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are in the cell of the underground stems
38
Which of the following is a true statement about sexual vs asexual reproduction
In sexual reproduction individuals transmit half of their nuclear gene to each of their offspring
At which stage of mitosis are chromosomes usually photographs in the preparation of karyotype
Metaphase
Which of the following is true of a species that has a chromosome number of 2n=16
Each diploid cell has 8 homologous pairs
Eukaryotic sexual life cycles show tremendous variation. Which do all sexual life cycles have in common
- Alternation of generations
- meiosis
- fertilization
- gametes
- spores
2,3,&4
In a plants sexual life cycle
Gametophytes produce gametes by mitosis
Which is an example of alteration of generations
A diploid plant (sporophyte) produces by meiosis a spot that gives rise to a multicellular haploid pollen grain (gametophyte )
A given organism has 46 chromosomes in its karyotype therefore we can conclude that it Must
Have gametes with 23 chromosomes
A triploid cell contains sets of 3 homologous chromosomes.if a cell of a usually diploid species with 42 chromosomes per cell is triploid this cell would be expected to have which of the following
63 chromosomes in 21 sets of 3
Which of the following might result in a human zygote with 45 chromosomes
An error in either egg or sperm meiotic anaphase
In a human karyotype chromosomes are arranged in 23 pairs of we choose one of these pairs such as pair 14 which of the following do the two chromosomes of the pair have in common
Length centromere position staining pattern and traits coded for by their genes
Which of the following life cycles is typical for animals
1
Which is typical for plants and some algae
3
Which of the following is for fungi and some protist
2
In a life cycle such of that shown in part 3 of the zygotes chromosome number is 10 which of the following will be true
The sporophytes chromosomes number per cell is 10 and the gametophyte is 5
Homologous chromosomes
Carry information for the same traits
If meiosis produces haploid cells how is the diploid number restored for those organisms that spend most of their life cycle in the diploid state
Fertilization
The human X and Y chromosomes
Include genes that determine an individual’s sex
Which of These is a karyotype
Organized images of a cells chromosomes
If a cell has complete meiosis 1 and is just beginning meiosis 2 which of the following is an appropriate description of it content
It has half the amount of Dna as the cell that began meiosis
The somatic cells of a private shrub each contain 46 chromosomes how do privet chromosomes differ from the chromosomes of human who also have 46
Genes of privet chromosomes are significantly different than those on humans
