Q

Telophase is the final stage of____.

A

Mitosis

23
Q

Types of cells:

29
Q

What are gametes?

A

Human gametes are sperm and egg cells, each of which contain 23 chromosomes.

30
Q

What key step occurs in interphase prior to cell division?

A

Duplication of chromosomes

31
Q

What are homologous chromosomes?

A

Pairs of chromosomes that have the same genes, but possible different characteristics or alleles.

32
Q

What process occurs between homologous chromosomes during Phrophase I?

A

Crossing over

33
Q

What dissapear during Prophase I?

A

The nucleus disappears

34
Q

What happens to the homologous pairs during Metaphase I?

A

They line up randomly along the midline of the dividing cell. Spindle fibers form one pole attatch to the centromere of one homologous chromosome. Spindle fibers from the opposite pole attatch to the other homologous chromosome of the pair.

35
Q

What separates during Anaphase I?

A

The homologous chromosomes

36
Q

How many cells are produced in Telophase II?

A

4

37
Q

What are the differences between Metaphase I and Metaphase II?

A

Metaphase I- Homologous line up

Metaphase II- Single double stranded line up

38
Q

Identify three ways that genetic variation can occur?

A

1) Random fertilization
2) Crossing over
3) Mutations
4) Independent assortment

39
Q

Briefly explain how the three processes promote variation?

A

Mutations- changes in DNA, alleles.
Crossing over- homologous pairs cross. Allows diversity by allowing genes from each parent to intermix. Large amount of ways to exchange and end up with different genes.
Fertilization- each parent is allowed to randomly contribute a unique set of genes to a zygote.
