Q

How does the number of chromosomes change during the cell cycle?

16
Q

How does the amount of DNA change during the cell cycle?

A

The DNA goes from 2c to 4c during S and goes back to 2c during mitosis

17
Q

What is the purpose of fertilization?

A

To join two haploid cells into a single diploid cell

18
Q

What is the purpose of meiosis?

A

To make haploid cells from a diploid cell

19
Q

Draw the steps of meiosis

A

See notes

20
Q

Prophase 1

A

Cohesions hold DNA molecules together

21
Q

Anaphase 1

A

Destruction of unprotected cohesions = the separation of homologous chromosomes

22
Q

Anaphase 2

A

Destruction of protected cohesions = the separation of sister chromatids

23
Q

How does the number of chromosomes change during the life cycle?

A

2n until meiosis 1 where it will be n until gametes

24
Q

How does the amount of DNA change during the life cycle?

A

2c to 4c in S back to 2c during meiosis 1 and then c during meiosis 2
