Cells are divided into two groups

|
46, 23
|
|
Each pair of chromosome is referred to as
|
Homologus pair
|
|
Homologous means..
|
"having the same structure"
|
|
Two chromosomes, one inherited from mother and one from father
|
Homologous chromosomes
|
|
Chromosomes that contain genes for characteristics not directly related to the sex of an organism
|
Automsomes
|
|
Chromosomes that directly control the development of sexual characteristics
|
Sex Chromosomes
|
|
Humans have 2 very different sex chromosomes known as _ and _.
|
X, Y
|
|
Two X Chromosomes
|
Female
|
|
One X and One Y Chromosome
|
Male
|
|
Larger sex chromsomes that contains numerous genes
|
X Chromsome
|
|
Smaller sex chromosome that carries fewer genes
|
Y Chromsome
|
|
Involves the fusion of two gametes that results in offspring that are a genetic mixture of both parents
|
Sexual Reproduction
|
|
The actual fusion of an egg and a sperm cell
|
Fertilization
|
|
A cell that has two copies of each chromosome, one copy from the mother, and one copy from the father
|
Diploid
|
|
The diploid chromosome number in humans
|
46 (2n)
|
|
Body Cells are also known as D_____.
|
Diploid Cells
|
|
A cell that has only one copy of each chromosome
|
Haploid
|
|
Gametes are also known as H_______.
|
Haploid Cells
|
|
The haploid number in humans
|
23 (n)
|
|
A form of nuclear division that divides a diploid cell into haploid cells
|
Meiosis
|
|
Meiosis involves two rounds of division
|
Meiosis I and Meisosis II
|
|
Duplicated chromosomes that remain attached by the centromere
|
Sister Chromotids
|
|
Homologus chromosomes divided in _________ and sister chromotids divided in ______.
|
meiosis I, meisosis II
|
|
Meiosis I has 4 phases
|
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, I
|
|
Nuclear membrane breaks down. Homologus chromosomes begin to pair up
|
Prophase I
|
|
Spindle fibers align the homologous chromosomes along the cell equator = each side has both parents
|
Metaphase I
|
|
The paired homologous chromosomes separate from each other and sister chromatids remain attached
|
Anaphase I
|
|
Spindle fibers dissamble, cell undergoes cytokinesis
|
Telophase I
|
|
Divides homologous chromosomes, producing two haploid cells with duplicated chromosomes
|
Meiosis I
|
|
Divides sister chromotids, and results in undoubled chromosomes
|
Meiosis II
|
|
Nuclear membranes breakdown, centrosomes and centrioles move to opposite side and spindle fibers assemble
|
Prophase II
|
|
Production of gametes
|
Gametogenesis
|
|
Male gamete
|
Sperm
|
|
Female gamete
|
Egg
|
|
Cells with little more than DNA that are eventually broken down
|
Polar bodies
|
|
The exchange of chromosome segments between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis I.
|
Crossing over
|
