Sexual Reproduction Flashcards
Reduction division
Chromosome # cut in half, meiosis 1
Gametes
Sex cell (egg sperm)
Zygote
Fertilized egg (2n)
Meiosis diagram using (n)
2n>(4n)>n+n
Haploid/Monoploid
Half the #of chromosomes (n=23 in humans)
Karyotype
Each chromosomes has homologous pairs that is the same size and shape, one from each parent
2 other words for body cells?
Diploid (2n) or somatic cell
Sexual reproduction
2 parents (flowers)
Autosomes in body cells for male and for female?
22 pairs autosomes +XX (females)
22 pairs autosomes +XY (males)
Sexually reproducing organisms have 2 processes to maintain the number of chromosomes
Meiosis and fertilization
Synapsis
A pair of homologous chromosomes in a tetrad (4 chromatids) match up during prophase 1 to cross over
Prophase 1
Tetrad by pairing non-sister homologous chromosomes then crossing them over
Diploid
Normal #of chromosomes (2n=46 in humans)
Metaphase 1
Recombinant chromosomes attach to spindle fibers move to middle
Anaphase/telophase 1
Homologous recombinant chromosomes separate, sister chromatids (n) then separates again, reduction division–>single chromosomes (n); then regular mitosis begins
Morula
Solid ball (cleavage)
Interphase 1
Sister chromatids form for each homologous
Mitosis diagram using (n)
2n>(4n)>2n+2n
Variable n refers to
Homologous pairs
Blastula
Hollow ball (cleavage)
Autosomes in sex cells for male and for female?
22 pairs autosomes +X (always female, male sometimes)
22 pairs autosomes +Y (male sometimes)
Gastrulation
Cells on one side of blastula move in forming gastrula
Gonads and processes
Ovaries (female development of egg “oogenesis” 3 bad polar bodies, 1 good egg) testes (male development of sperm “spermatogenesis” 4 sperm)
3 other words for sex cell?
Haploid, Monoploid or gametes
Sexual vs asexual? (Sexual has…)
2 parents
Offspring unidentical
More fun ;)
External fert
In water, more eggs/sperm bc less babies survive harsh environment
Internal fert
Mostly on land in moist female body mmm, less eggs still many sperm
Parthenogenesis
Development of unfertilized egg into adult ex insects like aphids
