Gametogenesis I Flashcards
Diakiesis Phase
- Crossing over complete
- Spindle apparatus in place
Prophase II
- Chromosomes begin to condense again
- Spindle reforms
Stages of Meiosis
PMAT I —> PMAT II
T/F: Most mammals have an EMPTY yolk sac.
True
Morphogenesis
Generation of form
Or
Assumption of new shape
Determination
Cells become RESTRICTED to a given developmental pathway
Where are the FIRST Germ cells found?
In the ENDO-dermal layer of the Yolk sac
The 4 phases of Gametogenesis
- Germ cells Migrate to gonads
- Increase in # of germ cells by MITOSIS
- Reduction in Chromosomal # by MEIOSIS
- Structural and Functional maturation of Eggs and Sperm
Leptotene phase
- Chromosomes are threadlike
- They begin to COIL
What is the End result of Meiosis?
4 genetically Unique HAPLOID Daughter cells
What is a Teratoma?
- Growth from Misdirected migrating primordial germ cells.
- Contains mixtures of Highly differentiated tissues
Metaphase I
- Tetrads line up
- Centromeres do NOT divide
Pachytene Phase
- Max Coiling
- Tetrads (crossing over begins)
Anaphase I
- Homologous chromosomes move to OPPOSITE side
(Consist of 2 chromatids) - Chromatids are NOT genetically identical
- Establishment of HAPLOID
What is Embryology?
The study of the Embryo
Integration
Different Tissues are brought together and combined to form organs an tissues
Prophase I vs Prophase II
PI: 2n, 4c
PII: 1n, 2c
Induction
The effect that one tissue (Inductor) has upon another (responder)
Telophase I
- Nuclear membranes reform
- Spindle disassembles
- Chromosomes uncoil
What are the 6 Component Processes
- Determination
- Differentiation
- Growth
- Morphogenesis
- Induction
- Integration
