homologous chromosomes come together and line up side by side

synapsis

fertilized egg cell

# of possible combinations of chromosomes during Metaphase I

8.4 million

restores the diploid # of chromosomes

fertilization

stage in meiosis when chromatids separate

anaphase II

structures in a cell which make spindle fibers

centrioles

describe crossing over

when homologous chromosomes late in prophase I exchange genetic material

how is meiosis metaphase I different from mitosis metaphase?

in meiosis (mI) the homologous chromosomes line up single file, but in mitosis they line up in pairs

in prophase II, why isn't there crossing over or synapsis?

genetic material isnt exchanged its duplicated

homologous chromosomes pair up and form tetrad

Prophase I

spindle fibers move homologous chromosomes to opposite sides

anaphase I

nuclear membrane reforms, cytoplasm divides, 4 daughter cells formed

telophase II

chromosomes line up along equator, not in homologous pairs

Metaphase II

crossing-over occurs

Prophase I

chromatids separate

anaphase II

homolgs line up alone on equator

metaphase II

homologs line up in pairs along equator

Metaphase I

cytoplasm divides, 2 daughter cells are formed

telophase I

what is the immediate end product of meiosis?

gamete/sex cell

what is the chromosome # of each each offspring at the end of meiosis

1/2 the parents

at what stage of meiosis do single-stranded chromosomes arrive at the poles of each cell

telophase II

how many daughter cells are formed by the end of meiosis I?

2

how many offspring cells does a complete meiotic cycle produce?

4

at what stage of meiosis do homologous chromosomes separate from each other?

anaphase I

what structure holds two sister chromatids together?

centromere

at what stage of meiosis do the daughter cells first have the haploid # of chromosomes?

telophase I

during prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes synapse. What is a synapsed pair called?

tetrad

what organelles form the meiotic poles in animal cells

centrioles

what organelles form the meiotic poles in plant cells?

centrosomes

at what stage of meiosis do single-stranded chromosomes migrate to opposite poles?

anaphase II

at what stage of meiosis do double-stranded chromosomes arrive at the poles of each cell?

telophase I

what structures pull chromosomes toward the poles?

spindle fibers (generated by centrioles)

what small cells are formed at the same time an egg cell is formed in animal meiosis?

polar bodies

at what stage of meiosis do chromosomes line up single file around the equator?

metaphase II

at the end of meiosis in egg cell formation, how many functional egg cells are formed? Name?

1- ovum

at the end of meiosis in sperm or spore cell formation, how many functional gametes are formed?

4

what are somatic cells?

body cells(diploid cells)

what are gametes?

sex cells

what's the relationship of a homologous pair?

the pair is similar but not identical

what makes up each strand of a homologous pair?

chromatids

what's the relationship of chromatids in a chromosome?

they're identical because they're a product of DNA replication

what's chromatin?

long strands of DNA in the nucleus

in mitosis, chromosomes become visible in which phase?

prophase

in mitosis, chromosomes become less tightly coiled & no longer visible in which phase

telophase

is interphase a part of mitosis?

no, but the two together make up the cell cycle

how many times does meiosis divide and does it repeat after that?

divides twice, does not repeat

at the beginning of cell division, how many chromatids does a chromosome have?

2

what is the checkpoint for DNA damage?

G2

timing in the cell cycle in believed to be controlled by?

cyclins

how do cancer cells differ from noncancerous cells?

cancer cells do not respond to signals that stop cell growth

what's the end product of spermatogenesis?

spermatozoa (sperm)

what's the end product of oogenesis?

1 ovum and 3 polar bodies

what is it when homologous chromosomes line up next to each other?

synapsis

define apoptosis

programmed cell death

a nonfunctioning cell curing oogenesis

polar body
