Myrmecia pilosula actually consists of several virtually identical, closely related species, with females having chromosome numbers of 18, 20, 32, 48, 60, 62, and 64. Assume one crossed a female of species (A) with 32 chromosomes and a male of species (B) with 9 chromosomes (males are haploid, and each gamete contains the n complement). How many chromosomes would one expect in the body (somatic) cells of the female offspring? A) 4.5 B) 9 C) 25 D) 32 E) 41

25

In an organism with 52 chromosomes, how many bivalents would be expected to form during meiosis? A) 13 B) 26 C) 52 D) 104 E) 208

26

If a typical somatic cell has 64 chromosomes, how many chromosomes are expected in each gamete of that organism? A) 8 B) 16 C) 32 D) 64 E) 128

32

How many haploid sets of chromosomes are present in an individual cell that is tetraploid (4n)?

4

Homologous chromosomes are those that can be matched by virtue of their similar structure and function within a nucleus. Which chromosomes making up a genome do not follow the same characteristics of homology?

: sex-determining chromosomes

Regarding the mitotic cell cycle, what is meant by a checkpoint?

A checkpoint is the portion of a cell cycle that is sensitive to a variety of conditions that impact the eventual health of the cell or individual. Such checkpoints often restrict passage to the next event in the cell cycle.

Assume that the somatic cells of a male contain one pair of homologous chromosomes (e.g., AaAb), and an additional chromosome without a homolog (e.g., W). What chromosomal combinations would be expected in the meiotic products (spermatids) of a single primary spermatocyte? (There may be more than one answer.)

AaW, AaW, Ab, Ab or Aa, Aa, AbW, AbW

During interphase of the cell cycle, ________. A) DNA recombines B) sister chromatids move to opposite poles C) the nuclear membrane disappears D) RNA replicates E) DNA content essentially doubles

What is meant by the term chiasma?

What is meant by the term chiasma?

In a healthy male, how many sperm cells would be expected to be formed from (a) 400 primary spermatocytes? (b) 400 secondary spermatocytes? A) (a) 800; (b) 800 B) (a) 1600; (b) 1600 C) (a) 1600; (b) 800 D) (a) 400; (b) 400 E) (a) 100; (b) 800

During meiosis, chromosome number reduction takes place in anaphase II

false

When cells withdraw from the continuous cell cycle and enter a "quiescent" phase, they are said to be in what stage

g0

In which stage of the cell cycle is G0 located?

g1

After which meiotic stage (meiosis I or II) would one expect monads to be formed?

meiosis II

List four terms used to describe the normal morphologies, with respect to arm ratio, of eukaryotic chromosomes.

metacentric, submetacentric, acrocentric, telocentric

The nucleolus organizer (NOR) is responsible for production of what type of cell structure?

ribosome

What is the outcome of synapsis, a significant event in meiosis? A) side-by-side alignment of nonhomologous chromosomes B) dyad formation C) monad movement to opposite poles D) side-by-side alignment of homologous chromosomes E) chiasma segregation
