Lab 4 Flashcards
homologous chromosomes
1 chromosome from mom and one from dad that are the same size, shape, and carries the same gene that line up together in Meiosis

What does a cell have to have in order to be diploid
a homologous partner
Genotype
ordered list of all the genes and alleles being studied
genotype for haploid cells
A, Ab
genotype for diploid cells
Aa, AABb
Meiosis
specialized process of cell division that produces haploid cells with generic variability
What happens in Meiosis 1
homologous chromosomes are separated reducing the ploidy from diploid to haploid
what happens in Meiosis 2
replicated chromosomes are separated into single chromosomes
Interkinesis
interphase-like stage that is short and don’t include DNA replication between Meiosis 1 and 2
Prophase 1(4)
-replicated chromosomes condense
-spindle forms
-Homologous chromosomes pair up
-crossing over
Prometaphase 1 (2)
-nuclear envelope disintegrates
-spindle attaches to centromeres of each chromosome
Metaphase 1(1)
tetrads line up along the metaphase plate
Anaphase 1 (1)
chromosome pairs separate
Telophase 1 (5)
-chromosomes being to uncoil
-spindle disappears
-nuclear envelope reforms
-cytokinesis begins (animal cells completely separate, plant cells stay together)
-cells are now haploid
Prophase 2 (2)
-chromosomes condense
-new spindle forms
Prometaphase 2 (2)
-nuclear envelope disintegrates
-Spindle attaches to centromeres
