|
epididymis
|
|
prior to ___oocytes complete meiosis I
|
ovulation
|
|
product of ovulation is one haploid secondary oocyte (arrested in ___) and one haloid polar body (oocyte gets majority of cytoplasm)
|

|
|
secondary oocyte housed within ___ of the ovary
|

|
|
___ is where sporogenesis occurs in plants
|
anther
|

|
diploid megaspore mother cell
|
|
___ megaspores disentegrate, leaving one viable
|
3
|
|
megaspore will undergo mitosis to ultimately form the ___ sac that house the haploid egg cell
|
embryo
|
|
what are the differences between the phases in meiosis?
|
prophase I- crossing over occurs
in the I phases, pair of chromosomes split; in the II phases, pairs of chromatids split |
|
the interval between meiosis I and meiosis II
|
interkinesis
|
|
what are the differences between meiosis and mitosis?
|
-mitosis can occur in either haploid or diploid cells and is nessecary for cell production and growth
-meiosis occurs only in diploid cells and it role is to produce cells with a reduced number of chromosomes and shuffle the genetic material so an organism can reproduce sexually |
