Unit 5a Flashcards
Bodies have 2 types of cells ____________ which are ___________ and ___________ which are _________.
somatic cells, body cells, gametes, sex cells
Somatic cells are _________ whereas gametes are _________
diploid, haploid
diploid = _____________
2 full sets of chromosomes
homologous means same gene but different ________. There are two types of chromosomes: 1-22 are ____________ and the 23rd is ____________
allies, autosomal, sex
sperm + egg = ___________. Ploidy = _____________. Duplicated chromosomes look like _______ and unduplicated look like _______.
zygote, number of chromosomes, X, I
Sister chromatids (X) went through ___________. Before Meiosis I _______________ has happened in the cell cycle. Meiosis happens ________.
s phase, g1, g2, interphase, twice
The result of meiosis is that one diploid cell becomes _______________.
4 haploid
homologous - __________________. A __________ is the chemical factor that determines traits. A _______ crosses one trait which creates a _________.
each of the 4 chromosomes from male parent has a corresponding chromosomes from the female parent, gene, monohybrid cross
A ________ crosses 2 traits. The dominant trait always takes over recessive.
dihybrid cross
Meiosis is __________________.
the process of reduction divisions where the number of chromosomes is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell
Prior to meiosis - cells undergo DNA replication forming duplicate chromosomes in the _____________.
S phase
What happens in prophase 1 in meiosis?
nuclear membrane breaks down
centrioles separate and make spindle fibers
Homologous chromosomes PAIR up and become visible
creates a tetrad
CROSSING OVER occurs
A tetrad is _____________. During prophase 1 crossing over occurs which is ________________.
cluster of 4 chromatids, exchange portions of chromatids; exchange of alleles
What happens in metaphase 1 in meiosis?
homologous chromosomes are lined up in the middle of the cell in PAIRS
What happens in anaphase 1?
pairs separate; one chromosome (2 sister chromatids) are pulled away to each side
sister chromatids stay attached
What happens during telophase 1 and cytokinesis during meiosis
chromosome gather at the poles
nuclear membrane MAY reform
cytoplasm divides into 2 cells
What is the result of meiosis 1?
2 haploid daughter cells that still have the duplicated chromosomes and are different from original diploid cells
What happens in prophase II of meiosis?
nuclear membrane brakes down
spindle fibers form AND ATTACH to the centromeres of the sister chromatids
