prophase

the kinetochore of each chromosome is contacted by what?

spindle giber

in this phase of mitosis chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate

metaphase

in this phase of mitosis sister chromatids are separated and pulled to opposite poles

anaphase

in this phase of mitosis the nuclear membrane reforms, spindle apparatus disappears, and cytosol and organelles are split between the two daughter cells through cytokinesis

telophase

1,2
what are the names of the 2 divisions that occur in meiosis?
reductional and equational
in this phase of meiosis homologous pairs of chromosomes are separated from each other
meiosis I
chromosomes that are given the same number but are of opposite parental origin
homologues
what are the stages of meiosis I?
Prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I
in this stage of meiosis the same events occur as in prophase of mitosis except that homologues come together and intertwine in a process called synapsis


prophase I

when homologues come together and intertwine

synapsis
the four chromatids in prophase I are referred to as this
tetrad
this exchanges genetic material from one chromatid with material from a chromatid in the homologous chromosome

crossing over
what law does crossing over account for?

Mendel's second law of independent assortment

in this phase of meiosis homologous chromosomes line up on opposite sides of the metaphase plate

metaphase I

in this phase of meiosis homologous chromosomes are segregates to opposite poles of the cell

anaphase I

what stage of meiosis accounts for Menel's first law of segregation?

anaphase I
in this phase of meiosis the chromosomes may or may not fully condense and the may enter intekinesis after cytokinesis
telophase I

in this phase of meiosis sister chromatids are separated from each other in a process that is functionally identical to mitosis

meiosis II
copies of the same DNA held together at the centromere
sister chromatids
biological sex is determined by what pair of chromosomes in humans
23rd pair
XX is what gender?
female
XY is what gender?


male

this chromosome carries a sizeable amount of genetic information
X
males are ______________ with respect to the unpaired genes on the X chromosome
hemizygous
women with only one copy of the effected allele for a sex linked disorder are considered what?
carriers

this chromosomes carries little genetic information
Y
what gene does the Y chromosome carry?
sex determine region Y
this gene causes the gonads to differentiate into testes
SRY gene
this reproductive system contains both internal and external structures
males reproductive system

where does sperm develop in the testes


seminiferous tubules
what type of cells nourish sperm?
Sertoli cells

these cells secrete testosterone and other androgens
interstitial cells of Leydig

where are the testes located?

scrotum

this hangs outside of the male's abdominal body cavity and has a temperature 2-4 degrees lower than the rest of the body

scrotum

once sperm are formed they gain motility here and are also stored here until ejaculation


epididymis
during ejaculation what 4 places does sperm travel, in order?
vas deferens, ejaculatory duct, urethra, penis
these contribute fructose to nourish sperm and produce alkaline fluid
seminal vesicles

this gland also produces alkaline fluid in males


prostate gland

these glands produce a clear viscous fluid that cleans out any remnants of urine and lubricates the urethra during sexual arousal



bulbourethral glands
what is semen composed of?
sperm and seminal fluids
in spermatogenesis what are produced from a spermatogonium?
4 haploid sperm
in males after the S stage what are the germ cells called?
primary spermatocytes
in males after meiosis I what are the germ cells called?

secondary spermatocytes

in males after meiosis II what are the germ cells called?

spermatids

in males after maturation what are the germ cells called?

spermatozoa
what 3 things do sperm contain?
head, midpiece and flagella
this part of the sperm contains the genetic material and is covered in acrosome
head

a modified Golgi apparatus that contains enzymes that help the sperm fuse to and penetrate the ovum

acrosomes

this part of the sperm generates ATP from fructose and contains many mitochondria

midpiece
this part of the sperm promotes motility
flagellum
