reproduction (production of gametes)

In meiosis II, _____.

sister chromatids are separated

sister chromatids separate and migrate toward opposite poles

An example of a cell that is 2n is a(n) _____.

somatic cell

Mitosis occurs in _____; meiosis occurs in _____.

somatic or body cells ... germ cells in the testes or ovaries

At the end of _____ and cytokinesis, haploid cells contain chromosomes that each consist of two sister chromatids.

telophase I

Click on the diagram to view an animation. This animation illustrates the events of _____.

telophase I and cytokinesis

At a critical point in meiosis, the chromosomes do not replicate. This occurs between _____.

telophase I and prophase II

At the end of _____ and cytokinesis there are four haploid cells.

telophase II

Click on the diagram to view an animation. This animation illustrates the events of _____.

telophase II and cytokinesis

Fertilization joins _____ to produce a _____.

haploid gametes ... diploid zygote

Meiosis is typically accomplished in _____.

three steps. All of the chromosomes are duplicated in a diploid cell, and then there are two cell divisions to produce a total of four haploid gametes.

A diploid organism whose somatic (nonsex) cells each contain 32 chromosomes produces gametes containing _____ chromosomes.

16

Normal human gametes carry _____ chromosomes.

23

An organism has a haploid chromosome number n = 4. How many tetrads will form during meiosis?

4

In a cell containing 10 chromosomes, meiosis results in the formation of daughter cells containing _____ chromosomes

5

Trisomy for most autosomes is fatal, yet trisomy or even tetrasomy (four copies) of the X chromosome is not. What is the explanation for this difference?

Only one copy of the X chromosome is active, regardless of the total number of X chromosomes.

Drag each image to the phase of meiosis I it depicts.

Prophase I - blue background, smaller spindle metaphase I - blue background, larger spindle with visible chromosomes Anaphase I - yellow background with spindle Telophase/cytokinesis - yellow background with cells

The M phase of mitosis and M phase of meiosis both occur after interphase. However, the two processes differ in the arrangement and behavior of their chromosomes. How?

The pairing up of homologous chromosomes and crossing over only occur during meiosis.

During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes form a tetrad. What does this accomplish?

This brings the chromosomes into alignment so that crossing over can create new combinations of genes present on a single chromosome.

Although in humans there are 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes, only three different chromosomal trisomies are commonly seen in newborns. Of the remaining 19 autosomes, many trisomies have not been seen in newborns. Why not?

Trisomy for the other autosomal chromosomes is often lethal, and the affected embryos are miscarried.

C and D
