M8: Meiosis Flashcards
Meiosis in males is called ________________ and produces sperms.
spermatogenesis
Meiosis in females is called __________ and produces ova.
oogenesis
Two MAJOR stages in meiosis (meiosis __ and meiosis ___).
meiosis I and meiosis II
fertilization
23 egg cell + 23 sperm cell = 46 _________
zygote
cell division that produces gametes
meiosis
differences of mitosis and meiosis
mitosis
- ___ cell division
- __ daughter cells
- _______ = 2n
- __ chromosomes
meiosis
- __ cell division
- __ cell product
- _________ = n
- ___ chromosomes
differences of mitosis and meiosis
mitosis
- 1 cell division
- 2 daughter cells
- diploid = 2n
- 46 chromosomes
meiosis
- 2 cell division
- 4 cell product
- haploid = n
- 23 chromosomes
top of the chromatid - ____ color
bottom of chromatid - ____ color
top of the chromatid - eye color
bottom of chromatid - hair color
location where you can find gene
locus
Phases of Cell Division of Gametes
Same in mitotic division (G1. S- phase, G2)
Replication of DNA
Homologous chromosomes
interphasw
Same gene sequence
Same loci
Centromere location
Chromosomal length
Homologous chromosomes
Prophase I
Divided into 5 stages;
l________
Z__________
P___________
D_________
d_____________
Divided into 5 stages;
Leptotene
Zygotene
Pachytene
Diplotene
Diakinesis
chromosomes begin to condense and attain a compact structure.
leptotene
Chromosomal synapsis - pairing of chromosomes.
zygotene
connects and pairs the two homologous chromosomes
Synaptonemal complex
Forms a bivalent/ tetrad.
Homologous pairs
zygotene
a continuation of what happens in gap 2
leptotene
Synaptonemal complex
zygotene
crossing over of non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.
pachytene
Cross - linked of one arm of non - sister chromatids at the Recombination nodule
pachytene
Formation of chiasmapachytene
pachytene
crossing over of genes - exchange of gene
pachytene
one of the most important processes wherein variation of cells happen
pachytene
a break in one of the sister chromatids
chiasma
marks the dissolution of the synaptonemal complex
diplotene
separation of the homologous chromosomes of the bivalents except at the sites of cross-over.
diplotene
diplotene
The X-shaped structures formed during separation are known as ___________
chiasmata
Termination of chiasmata
diakinesis
assembly of the meiotic spindle to separate the homologous chromosomes.
diakinesis
nucleolus disappears and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
