What is a SOMATIC CELL?
any cell other than a sex cell; has 46 chromosomes; Mt
What are GAMETES?
sex cells; sperm and egg made in testes and ovaries
What are SEX CHROMOSOMES?
females have a homologous pair of X chromosomes and makes have an X and Y chromosome; they determine a cell's sex
Autosomes
all chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes
Homologous chromosomes (Homologs)
A pair of chromosomes that have the same length and centromere position
Diploid Cell
A Cell with 2 chromosome sets - Somatic Cell; the diploid number for humans is 46
Haploid Cell
Gamete are only haploid Cells; haploid number for humans is 23 (22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome); meiosis occurs during production of gametes
Non-Sister Chromatids
Any Two chromatids in a pair of homologous chromosomes that are not sister chromatids
Sister Chromatids
Two copies of one chromosome, closely associated along their lengths
Homologous Pair
Two Chromosomes in a dipold cell with the same shape and content, one from the male parent, the other from the female parent.
Fertilization
The union of gametes
Zygote
Fertilized egg; diploid; divides by mitosis to make an organism; because it contains two haploid sets of chromosomes bearing genes from both parents
Germ Cells
Specialized cells in the gonads that produce gametes
Reductional Phase of Meiosis
Meiosis I - # of chromosomes gets reduced in Half (from diploid to haploid)
Equational Phase of Meiosis
Meiosis II - sister chromatids separate during MII, producing haploid daughter cells; MII and Mt are identical
Meiosis of female gametes results in #? viable cell called a(n) ____ and #? non-viable cells called _______
Meiosis of female gametes results in 1 viable cell called a(n) _ovum (egg)_ and 3 non-viable cells called _polar bodies_
Sister Chromatid Cohesion
The binding of sister chromatids to form one chromosome
One replicated Chromosome is composed of two. . .
. . . sister chromatids
Two stages of Meiosis result in #? daughter cells
Two stages of Meiosis result in 4 daughter cells each with only half as many chromosomes as the parent cell
Alleles
Different versions of genes in homologous chromosomes
What separates during Meiosis I?
Homologous Chromosomes
What separates during Meiosis II?
Sister Chromatids
Prophase I
Synapsis and crossing over occur; duplicate homologous chromosomes combine for form 46 sister chromatids and exchange of DNA; chromosomes condense and the nuclear membrane begins to fragment
Metaphase I
2x2 chromatids align along the metaphase plate
Anaphase I
homologous chromosomes separate and move toward opposite poles, (moving in pairs)
Telophase I & Cytokinesis
nuclear membrane reform and the chromosomes decondense. The two cells are separated by a cleavage furrow. Two daughter cells = haploids with 23 copies of chromosomes
Prophase II
sister chromatids condense and the spindles starts to form. Nuclear membrane begins to fragment
Metaphase II
Chromosomes position themselves along the Metaphase plate - Due to crossing over in Meiosis I, Sister Chromatids are *NOT* genetically identical.
Anaphase II
Sister Chromatids separate due to breakdown of proteins at the centromere and move towards poles, poles elongates pole
Telophase II and Cytokinesis
chromosomes decondense and nuclear membrane reform. Cleavage furrow separates the 2 cells into 4 cells. 4 Haploid, single-stranded, Daughter Cells form
Synapsis
The binding of two homologous chromosomes; two chromatids become physically connected
Crossing Over
Genetic rearrangement of between two nonsister chromatids; occurs during prophase I
Chiasma
Point of a crossing over in a chromosome
Cohesins
Protein complexes that join sister chromatids along the lengths
Female Chromosome
X
Male Chromosome
Y
Recombinant Chromosomes
Individual Chromosomes that carry genes derived from different parents. A result of crossing over.
What is HEREDITY?
the transmission of trains from one generation to the next
What is VARIATION?
Offspring differ somewhat in appearance from parents and siblings
What is GENETICS?
the study of heredity and variation
Three events unique to Meiosis
synapsis and crossing over; tetrads on the metaphase plate; separation of homologues
tetrads on the metaphase plate
at metaphase MI, paired homologous chromosomes are positioned on the metaphase plate, rather than individual replicated chromosomes in Mt
separation of homologues
at anaphase MI, the duplicated chromosomes of each homologous pair move toward opposite poles, but the sister chromatids of each duplicated chromosome remain attached. in Mt, sister chromatids separate
tetrad or bivelent
4 chromatids; 2 and 2 lined up
what occurs between MI and MII?
nothing; interphase does not occur because no need to replicate
