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
|
