What is a tetrad
Homologous chromosomes-
Two chromosomes in a matching pair that carry genes controlling the same inherited characteristic
Meiosis 1 divides _______and Meiosis 2 divides ________
Meiosis 1 divides THE HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES and Meiosis 2 divides THE SISTER CHROMATIDS IN BOTH CELLS AT THE SAME TIME
What phase does crossing over occur?
What phase does independent assortment occur?
Crossover-Prophase 1
Ind. Assortment- Metaphase 1
Define Gametogenesis
Development of gametes in the gonads
(Spermatogenesis and Oogenesis in the testes and ovaries)
____________Is the transmission of genetic material from one generation to the next
REPRODUCTION is the transmission of genetic material from one generation to the next
Distinguish between diploid and haploid cells
Diploid- two copies of every chromosome
Haploid- one copy of every chromosome
Chromosomal pairs are called _________
homologous chromosomes.
They have the same shape, length, centromere location, and gene assortment
What is the result of meiosis
4 daughter cells
In Meiosis, if a parent cell has 48 chromosomes, each daughter cell will have ______ chromosomes
24 (half of the original number)
