What are homologous chromosomes?
|
Contain same genes, but may have different alleles for each gene.

Describe the stages of mitosis.

|
|
What are the two beakers labeled?
|
HCl and Carnoy's
|
|
What percentage is the HCl?
|
18%
|
|
Where do you place the root tips?
|
Into the 18% HCl for 4 minutes
|
|
How long do you place the root tips in the HCl?
|
4 minutes
|
|
What does the HCl do?
|
Softenst the tissue in preparation for staining and squashing
|
|
What do you do after you put the root tips in the HCl?
|
Put it int Carnoy's solution for at least 4 minutes
|
|
How long do you put the root tips in Carnoy's solution?
|
4 minutes
|
|
What does Carnoy's solution do?
|
It is a fixative tat preserves the structure of the cells.
|
|
How long can root tips remain in Carnoy's solution?
|
Indefinitely
|
|
How much of the root tip do you cut off?
|
All but the last 1-2 mm atof the tip
|
|
How can you tell the growing tip from the rest?
|
It is slightly tapered and slightly whiter in color
|
|
What objective do you start with?
|
Low power, (4x or 10x)
|
|
Describe what happens at 400x magnification.
|
Light moving from air to glass or from glass to air bneds and results in loss of resolution above 400x.
|
|
How can a magnification of 1200x be achieved?
|
If the air between the lens and the slide is replaced with oil, because oil has the safe refractive index as glass, so light will not bend and become distorted
|
|
What dictates the upper 1200x limit?
|
Wavelength of the light
|
|
What lens do you want to make sure does not come in contact with the oil immersion?
|
40x
|
|
What shooting mode do you want the camera on?
|
Auto
|
|
Do you want the flash on on the camera?
|
No
|
|
What is pollen essentially?
|
Sperm
|
|
What are the diploid cells int he anther called?
|
Meiocytes
|
|
When meiocytes undergo meiosis, what do they produce?
|
Spherial tetrads, each containing 4 hpaloid cells, which then mature into pollen grains
|
|
What type of stain do you use on the antler?
|
Acetocarmine stain
|
|
How do you smash and chop the anther?
|
With the side of a dissecting needle in the pool of stain
|
|
What will too much pressure on the meiocytes do?
|
Lyce the cells and make the stages of meiosis difficult to discern
|
|
Should you use the 100x oil immersion lens with the meiocytes?
|
No, because they are large and fragile and will be crushed
|
|
How long does mitosis usually take?
|
1/2 hour to 2 hours
|
|
When do the spindles form?
|
Metaphase
|
|
What is the region of the centromere that the spindle fibers attach to called?
|
Kinetochore
|
|
How is meiosis more complex in plants?
|
Meiosis forms sports, which undergo one or more mitotic divisions to produce a haploid gametophyte organism, which produces gametes by mitotic division of a haploid nucleus; fusion ofhaploids creates a diploid zygote that developes into a sporophyte plant
|
|
What are the five substages of prophase I in meiosis?
|
leptotene
zygotene pachytene diplotene diakinesis |
|
What is leptotene?
|
Chromosomes first become visible as long thread-like structures'; chromomeres
|
|
How can sister chromatids in the leptotene be distinguished?
|
Electron microscop
|
|
What are chromomeres?
|
Dese granules that appear at irregular intervels along the chromosomes in
|
|
What is zygotene?
|
Synpsis of homologous chromosomes, beginning at the chromosome tips
|
|
What are the synpased homoglous chromosomes in zygotene referred to as?
|
Vialent
|
|
What happens during pachytene?
|
Condensatin of the chromosomes continues; each bivalent actually consists of a tetrad of four chromatids, but the two ister chromatids are usually juxtaposed very tightly; crossing-over takes place
|
|
What occurs during pachytene?
|
Crossing over
|
|
What happens during diplotene?
|
The synapsed chromosomes begin to separate and the diplotene chromosomes are clearly double; but the homologous chromosomes remain held together at the chiasma
|
|
What happens during diakinesis?
|
Homologous chromosomes repel each other and the segments not connected by chiasma pull apart
|
