Q

Crossing over?

A

Crossing over is when a chromosomes pair in meiosis exchange DNA. as a result the chromosomes pick up new genetic DNA. multiple cross overs can occur.

Q

Independent assortment?

A

It occurs in meiosis 1
Homologous chromosomes separate at the equator and move towards opposite poles of the cell.
For each 23 pairs there are two possibilities for how chromosome will eventually sort itself into daughter cells.

Q

Gamete formation?

A

Although the process of meiosis is the same for males and females gamete formation is different. In males meiosis 1 occurs and produces 2 cells. Followed by meiosis 2 where those two cells slit equally. In females 2 eggs are produced in meiosis 1 but the division is unequal. One of them has more cytoplasm and organelles. When those eggs go and slit agin they end up with three smaller eggs and 1 super one.

27
Q

Compare the number do chromosomes in an egg cell VS a skin cell.

A

There is half as many

28
Q

What characteristics can you use to indenting homologous chromosomes?

A

They are the same shape, size and have genes in the same spots.

29
Q

What benefits to genetic diversity?

A

Species can not all be affected by disease or mutation. We are all different.

30
Q

How does a zygote become an embryo?

A

By going through mitosis.

31
Q

What stage meiosis are these thing in?

  • homologous Chromosomes pairs go to the equator
  • individual chromosomes go to the equator
  • crossing over occurs
  • homologous chromosomes go to opposite poles?
  • centromeres divide?

32
Q

What the difference between chromosomes in mitosis and meiosis 1?

A

In meiosis have exchanges DNA

33
Q

How does the number of chromosomes in metaphase compare to the number in metaphase 2 meiosis?

A

There is half the number in metaphase 2

34
Q

Explain how crossing over can creat genetic diversity?

A

Because the chromosomes are exchanging DNA creating a pattern that hasn’t been created yet.

35
Q

Give an example of a chromosomes mutation?

A

Part of the chromosomes will be missing resulting in serious things such as blindness or a defeat.

36
Q

How can chromosomes be lost or added?

A

Because of a mutation

37
Q

Why is meiosis so important?

A

Other wise we would all be double the genetics because our gametes wouldn’t have divided twice.

38
Q

Prophase 1?

A

Homologous chromosomes pair up and non sister chromatids exchange DNA, this process is called crossing over.

39
Q

Metaphase 1?

A

Homologous pairs arrange and pair up at the equator.

40
Q

Anaphase 1

A

Homologous chromosomes separate and are pulled to opposite poles by the spindle fibres.

41
Q

Telophase 1?

A

One chromosomes from each homologous pair is at each end of the pole

42
Q

Interkinesis?

A

It is the stage between cells division stages. During this time the cell will grow and make proteins like interphase. There is no replication of DNA during this stage.

43
Q

Prophase2

A

There is one chromosomes from each homologous pair in each cell.

44
Q

Metaphase 2

A

X shapes chromosomes form a single line across the middle of the cell.

45
Q

Anaphase?

A

Sister chromatids move to opposite poles of the cell. Once they separate each sister chromatid is considered to be a chromosome.

46
Q

Telophase 2?

A

Spindle fibres begin to disappear and a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes.

47
Q

Egg and sperm cells have substances on their surface that aid in species identification. What are these substances?

A

A sugar like coating.

48
Q

What is the method of fertilization for land dwelling animals?

A

Internal fertilization.

49
Q

What is the method for water dwelling animals?

A

External fertilization

50
Q

What is pollination?

A

It is the transfer of male gametes in structures called pollen from the male part of the reproductive plant to the female part.

51
Q

What is the anther?

A

The place in the plant where pollen is produced.

52
Q

What are pollen grains?

A

Cases containing male gametes.

53
Q

Filaments?

A

Stalk that supports the anther

54
Q

Stigma?

A

Sticky lip of the pistil that captures pollen grains.

55
Q

Style?

A

Stalk that supports the stigma and in which the pollen tubes form.

56
Q

Ovary?

A

Swollen base of the pistil containing ovules

57
Q

Ovules?

A

Sacs containing gametes.

58
Q

How is pollen transferred?

A

Through the wind.

59
Q

What can be found inside of a seed?

A

Gametes

60
Q

What is embryonic development?

A

The early development of an organism.

61
Q

What months of the pregnancy does embryonic development take place in children.

A

The first two months

62
Q

Does the zygote under go mitosis before or after it is fertilized?

A

After

63
Q

After the zygote divides and under goes mitosis what size does it become and what is its new name?

A

It is 0.2 mm and it is called a morula.

64
Q

What is the stage after morula and what size does it become.

A

A hallow ball of cells form which is called a blastula and it is 1.5mm in diameter.

65
Q

What can a blastula also be used for or called?

A

An embryonic stem cell and it can be used to be any cell in the body.

66
Q

What happens during gestural?

A

The blastula organizes itself into three layers.

67
Q

What is the outside layer of the gastrula called?

A

The ectoderm
