genetics test 2 Flashcards
what’s sexual reproduction
two parents create offspring that are unique, not identical to either parent
whats asexual reproduction
one parent produces offspring that are genetically identical to itself-clones
what does sexual reproduction require
sperm and egg
how many chromosomes do body cells have
46
how many chromosomes do gametes have
23
what does 1n+1n=2n represent
23 chromosomes from dad pls 23 from mom make 46 chromosomes
what are gametes made with
meiosis
what is PMAT
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telephase
homologous chromosomes are separated into how many cells in meiosis
4
what is a haploid
when a cell contains half the number of a full set of chromosomes
what is a diploid
when a cell contains a full set of chromosomes
what is an example of a haploid
gametes
whats a centromere
where the two chromatids of a chromosome are joined together and where spindle fibers attach during cell division
what happens during interphase for meiosis
It’s the resting phase, 1 round of DNA replication
what are the parts of interphase
G1- growth, S- Dna replication, G2- more growth
what happens in prophase 1
spindle fibers begin to form, crossing over occurs
what are homologous chromosomes
chromosomes that contain the same genes, but may have different versions of the same gene
what happens in crossing
chromatids of the homologous cross over one another and are exchanged
why is crossing over important
it adds variation to the chromosome combination and causes the 4 haploids to be unique
what is a tetrad
a pair of two homologous chromosomes .
what happens in metaphase 1
chromosomes move to the middle of the cell
when does independant assortment occur
metaphase 1
what happens in independant assortment
chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate randomly
what does independant assortement help ensure
genetic variation
what happens in anaphase 1
homologous chromosomes are separated and pulled to opposite sides of the cell
what happens in telophase 1
nuclear membrane forms around each cluster chromosomes
what happens in cytokinesis 1
cytoplasm divides to form 2 new daughter cells
