Two ruined experiments separately exposed the health risks of chemicals in everyday products.In 1989, biologists Ana Soto and Carlos Sonnenschein at Tufts University in Massachusetts were studying how the hormone estrogen regulates the growth of cells in the female reproductive system. One day, suddenly and surprisingly, cells in the flasks began growing even when estrogen had not been added. The two scientists immediately stopped their experiments and began searching for the cause. But after weeks of searching, Soto and Sonnenschein still could not identify a source of contamination. Almost 10 years later, in August 1998, geneticist Patricia Hunt at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio stared dumbfounded at another experimental anomaly. Hunt was studying why older women are at increased risk of having children with chromosomal abnormalities. Hunt's experiment was almost complete when she went in to check on the control mice one last time. In this case, the control was a group of healthy mice whose hormone levels had not been altered. Using a light microscope, Hunt examined mouse oocytes at the moment just before the eggs are produced. She was shocked. The cells were a mess—the chromosomes scrambled. A whopping 40 percent of the resulting eggs had chromosomal. Which of the following are observations from the two failed experiments mentioned in this chapter?Choose one or more: A.Forty percent of the eggs resulting from the treatment mouse oocytes were showing chromosomal defects. B.A component of the experimental system, besides the experimental treatment, affected human breast tumor cell growth and development. C.The hormone estrogen caused human breast tumor cell growth. D.The hormone progesterone caused human breast tumor cell growth. E.Forty percent of the eggs resulting from the control mouse oocytes were showing chromosomal defects.

In the diagram, label the steps of independent assortment during meiosis.

From top to bottom: Homologous chromosomes can be oriented in two ways during metaphase I. Maternal and paternal homologues are sorted into two daughter cells. Four possible combinations of gametes are generated by meiosis II.

Sort the following statements as they apply to meiosis I only, meiosis II only, or both.

Meiosis 1: The cell begins this phase as a diploid cell. Homologous pairs of chromosomes line up at the center of the cell before separating. Two cells form as a result of cytokinesis. Independent assortment occurs here. Meiosis 2: The cell begins this phase as a haploid cell. Four cells form as a result of cytokinesis. Pairs of sister chromatids are pulled apart during anaphase. Both: Cytokinesis follows this step. Haploid cells result.

Arrange the following steps of meiosis in the correct order. Note that not all steps of meiosis are included here.

Metaphase 1 Anaphase 1 Telophase 1 Prophase 2 Metaphase 2 Anatphase 2
