A

Prophase

79
Q

What is the difference in the product of meiosis and the product of mitosis?

A

Mitosis ends with 2 daughter cells having one homologous pair of each chromosome (diploid number)
Meiosis ends with 4 daughter cells that have only one chromosome rather than a homologous pair of each (haploid number)

80
Q

A

Recombinant chromatids

81
Q

A

No, they are just shorter than an X chromosome

84
Q

A

Homologous chromosome pairs fuse together during meiosis prophase 1 which allows for DNA cross over

85
Q

What happens during cytokinesis

A

A cleavage furrow begins to form at the equatorial plane, the cell membrane then pinch into the cytoplasm creating 2 daughter cells (cell cleavage)

86
Q

What is independent assortment that occurs in metaphase 1 of meiosis?

A

Alignment is random, so paternal and maternal copies do not necissariliy stay on one side or the other. This results in each of the daughter cells ending up with some of the mothers DNA and some of the fathers DNA.

87
Q

Where are the least developed sperm and the most developed sperm located in the tubules?

A

They start immature next to the basement membrane and move closer to the lumen (the inside of the tube) as they mature

88
Q

If you see a picture of the cells beginning to split down the middle and chromosomes are in opposite ends of the cells but not longer attached to spindle fibers, what phase of mitosis is this?

A

Telophase

89
Q

How do cells seperate the two daughter cells as they cannot pull away from each other?

A

They grow a cell plate between the two daughter cells

90
Q

What is are the products of meiosis II of a second degree oocyte?

A

An egg that will fertilize (ovum)

A polar body that will degenerate

91
Q

How does metaphase 1 of meiosis differ from metaphase of mitosis?

A

In mitosis, they line up single file, in metaphase 1 of meiosis, they line up as homologous pairs and spindle fibres are only able to attach to one side of the centromere

92
Q

What is the difference between anaphase 1 of meiosis and anaphase of mitosis?

A

In meiosis, the homologous pairs are separated as the spindle fibres are only attached at one side of the centromere
In mitosis, sister chromatids are pulled apart at the centromere as the spindle fibres attach to both sides

95
Q

What is the difference between metaphase II of meiosis and metaphase of mitosis?

A

They both have chromosomes aligning in single file with the spindle fibres attaching to both sides of the centromeres. The only difference is that metaphase II of meiosis only has a haploid number of chromosomes

96
Q

A

4

97
