Asexual reproduction

produces offspring genetically identical to the parent

Asexual reproduction occurs during

mitosis

Meiosis II is similar to mitosis in that

sister chromatids separate during anaphase

A human cell containing 22 autosomes and a Y chromosome is

a sperm

Define genome

the complete set of an organism's genes and other DNA sequences

Quaking aspen can send out underground stems for asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction is not as common, but when it does happen, the haploid gametes have 19 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are in the cells of the underground stems?

38

How are sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes different from each other?

Homologous chromosomes contain the same gene loci but may have different alleles of a particular gene. Sister chromatids are identical copies of each other produced during DNA replication.

Homologous chromosomes move toward opposite poles of a dividing cell during

meiosis I

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

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.

Is the cell diploid or haploid

Is the cell diploid or haploid

Diploid

In a plant's sexual life cycle what do gametophytes produce?

Gametes

Diploid plant (sporophyte) produces, by meiosis, a spore that gives rise to a multicellular, haploid pollen grain (gametophyte).


What is this an example of?

alternation of generations

Identify all possible products of meiosis in plant and animal life cycles

Spores


Gametes

If a horticulturist breeding gardenias succeeds in having a single plant with a particularly desirable set of traits, which of the following would be her most probable and efficient route to establishing a line of such plants?

Clone the plant

What is the best evidence telling you whether this cell is diploid or haploid?

What is the best evidence telling you whether this cell is diploid or haploid?

The cell is diploid because it contains two sets of chromosomes.

What is a karyotype

organized images of a cells chromosomes

What number and types of chromosomes are found in a human somatic cell?

44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes

Homologous chromosomes purpose

carry information for the same traits

If the DNA content of a diploid cell in the G1 phase of the cell cycle is x, then the DNA content of the same cell at metaphase of meiosis I would be

2x

What is crossing over?

the exchange of homologous portions of nonsister chromatids

Mitosis results in the formation of how many cells; meiosis results in the formation of how many cells

two diploid cells ... four haploid cells

In alternation of generations, what is the diploid stage of a plant that follows fertilization called?

sporophyte

For what purposes might a karyotype be prepared?

for prenatal screening, to determine if a fetus has the correct number of chromosomes




to determine whether a fetus is male or female




to detect the possible presence of chromosomal abnormalities such as deletions, inversions, or translocations

Meiosis I produces _____ cells, each of which is _____

two ... haploid

Meiosis II typically produces _____ cells, each of which is _____

four ... haploid
