Which of these cells is (are) haploid?

C and D

Meiosis guarantees that in a sexual life cycle, offspring will inherit one complete set of chromosomes (and their associated genes and traits) from each parent. The transmission of traits from parents to offspring is called heredity. Another important aspect of meiosis and the sexual life cycle is the role these processes play in contributing to genetic variation. Although offspring often resemble their parents, they are genetically different from both of their parents and from one another. The degree of variation may be tremendous. The following processes are associated with meiosis and the sexual life cycle: DNA replication before meiosis crossing over chromosome alignment in metaphase I and separation in anaphase I chromosome alignment in metaphase II and separation in anaphase II fertilization

All of them are both

What name is given to this process?

Asexual reproduction

Which of these gametes contains one or more recombinant chromosomes?

B and C

Two sister chromatids are joined at the centromere prior to meiosis. Which statement is correct?

Barring mutation, the two sister chromatids must be identical.

The parent cell that enters meiosis is diploid, whereas the four daughter cells that result are haploid. Which statement correctly describes how cellular DNA content and ploidy levels change during meiosis I and meiosis II?

DNA content is halved in both meiosis I and meiosis II. Ploidy level changes from diploid to haploid in meiosis I, and remains haploid in meiosis II.

This chromosome has two chromatids, joined at the centromere. What process led to the formation of the two chromatids?

The two chromatids were formed by duplication of a chromosome.

Consider a diploid cell where 2n = 6. During metaphase I of meiosis, as the pairs of homologous chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate, each pair may orient with its maternal or paternal homolog closer to a given pole. There are four equally probable arrangements of the homologous pairs at metaphase I. (Note that this problem assumes that no crossing over has occurred.) Four diagrams showing four equally probable arrangements of three homologous pairs at metaphase 1. In arrangement 1, the pairs are from top to bottom: red-blue, red-blue, red-blue. In arrangement 2, the pairs are from top to bottom: red-blue, blue-red, blue-red. In arrangement 3, the pairs are from top to bottom: red-blue, blue-red, red-blue. In arrangement 4, the pairs are from top to bottom: red-blue, red-blue, blue-red. The cells below show the eight possible combinations of chromosomes that the daughter cells of meiosis II can receive. Sort each daughter cell into the appropriate bin depending on which arrangement at metaphase I would create it.

Crossing over plays a critical role in increasing the genetic variation among offspring of sexual reproduction. It is important to understand how crossing over occurs and its consequences in meiosis. Look carefully at the diagrams depicting different stages in meiosis in a cell where 2n = 6. Assume that the red chromosomes are of maternal origin and the blue chromosomes are of paternal origin. Drag the labels to fill in the targets beneath each diagram of a cell. Note that the diagrams are in no particular order. Drag the blue labels to the blue targets to identify the stage of meiosis depicted in each diagram. Drag the pink labels to the pink targets to identify whether the configuration of the chromosomes related to crossing over is possible or not.

In the life cycle of an organism, meiosis is paired with the process of fertilization. Understanding the life cycle of an organism is the key to understanding how sexual reproduction ensures the inheritance of traits from both parents and also introduces genetic variation. Complete the diagram to show the life cycle of a typical animal. Follow these steps: First, drag blue labels onto blue targets only to identify each stage of the life cycle. Next, drag pink labels onto pink targets only to identify the process by which each stage occurs. Then, drag white labels onto white targets only to identify the ploidy level at each stage. Labels can be used once, more than once, or not at all.

This diagram shows a diploid nucleus (2n=8) in which chromosome replication has occurred in preparation for mitosis (top) and meiosis (bottom). The nucleus at top right is now in prophase of mitosis; the nucleus at bottom right is now in prophase I of meiosis. Drag the labels to their appropriate targets to correctly identify the various chromosome structures. Labels can be used more than once.
