Meiosis, Genetics, Cellular Respiration, Digestion I Flashcards
Meiosis: General
Sexual reproduction, offspring not identical to parent cells
Sexual Lifecycle(3)
Gamete formation, Fertilization, Growth
Meiosis Division Details (h/d)
2n diploid cell turns into 4 haploid cells
1) Homologous
2) 2
3) Sister chromatids
Alleles
Same gene, but different versions
e.g: Gene for coat color
Brown allele and White allele
Meiosis and Mitosis:
a) both go through the cell cycle more than once
b) Both have the same cell cycle
c) Mitosis goes through the cycle many times, Meiosis once
d) Meiosis goes through the cycle many times, Mitosis once
B and C are correct
Prophase I
1) Chromosomes Condense
2) Nuclear Envelope Fragments
3) Centrosomes Migrate
4) Meiotic Spindle Forms
5) Synapsis- Pairing of homologous chromosomes
Synapsis
Pairing of homologous chromosomes
Synaptonemal Complex
Protein Lattice between homologous chromosomes
Crossing Over
Exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids (during synapsis)
Recombinant Chromatids
Alleles that are crossed over
Non recombinant chromatids
alleles that do not cross over
Metaphase I
Homologous Pairs align on metaphase plate via RANDOM alignment
Anaphase I
1) Kinetochore Microtubules shorten
2) Synaptonemal Complex degrades
3) Homologous chromosomes pulled to opposite sides
4) Sister Chromatids still attached
5) Non kinetochore MT’s lengthen, cell stretches
Telophase I
Each half of cell has complete 1n set of chromosomes, another division occurs with NO DNA replication.
Phase II’s
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase—> endng in 4 haploid daugher cells
Nondisjunction
homologous chromosomes during Meiosis I, or sister chromatids in Meiosis II don’t separate
Aneuploid
neither diploid nor haploid cells
Nondisjunction at Meiosis I
Chromosomes don’t separate, all cells become aneuploid
Nondisjunction at Meiosis II
Sister Chromatids won’t separate, causing some cells to become aneuploid, and some remain normal
2n+1 Zygote (other name)
Trisomy, 3 copies of chromosomes
Trisomy chances ___ with maternal age.
a) increases
b) decreases
c) stay the same
A (increase)
Trisomy 21
Down Syndrome= overexpression of genes on chromosome 21
