Reproductive System Chap 22 Flashcards
somatic cells
every cell but sex cells. Have 46 chromosomes total
sex cells
contain 23 chromosomes. Sperm and oocytes
gametes
mature sex cells, sperm of oocytes
diploid cell
contains 2 sets of chromosomes, 23 each for a total of 46
haploid cell
contains 1 set of 23 chromosomes
Autosomes
Chromosomes 1-22
Sex Chromsomes
Chromosome 23
Mitosis
Replication of somatic cell
Meiosis
Replication of sex cell
S Phase
Chromatids replicate so now each cell has 46 chromsomes. 23 from mom, 23 from dad with each chromosome having two chromotids connected by a cetromere
Prophase I
nucleus disolves, Homologous Chromosomes line up (synapsis). So #1 from mom next to #`1 from dad etc. Then crossover takes place. Homologous Genetic material from mom and dad swap in random places on chromotids.
Metaphase
centrosomes release spindle fibers attaching to kinetchore and pull chromomes to the middle
Anaphase
Homologous chromosomes are now pulled apart from each other by spindle fibers
Telephase
splitting takes place as new nucleus’s form. This is also called cytokensis
Meiosis II
splits the remaining sister chromatids apart. Creating two more cells. So know 4 cells each with 23 single chromatid chromosomes
