The number of chromosomes you get from each parent.
LOWEST 2 GROUPS
What is 23 chromosomes?
This is the number of cells present at the end of Meiosis 1.
What are 2?
One of these is NOT part of the chromosome. spindle, centromere, or chromatid
What is the spindle?
The term used to describe body cells made during MITOSIS.
Lowest 2 groups
What is a somatic cell?
This is what a sperm is (haploid or diploid).
Lowest 2 groups
What is haploid?
This is a process that occurs during Prophase 1, only during Meiosis. It creates extra genetic diversity.
What is crossing over?
This is the number and type of cells made at the end of Meiosis 2.
LOWEST 2 GROUPS
What are 4 genetically unique haploid gametes?
A cell with 2 sets of chromosomes. Example: fertilized zygote.
What is a diploid cell?
What are the 8 stages of meiosis
EXCLUDES TOP 2 GROUPS
What are Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, and Telophase II?
In Meiosis I, cells are haploid or diploid?
What is diploid?
This is the number of cell divisions during all of meiosis.
TOP 3 GROUPS SIT OUT
What are 2 divisions?
After meiosis, are gametes genetically identical or different. Explain why.
What is genetically different because the chromosomes have crossed over and independently assorted.
In Meiosis II, cells are haploid or diploid.
What is haploid.
This law describes the fact that chromosomes are separated into chromatids randomly and separately for each chromosome.
What is the Law of Independent Assortment?
How are Anaphase I and Anaphase II different?
Anaphase I separates homologous chromosomes, Anaphase II, the sister chromosomes are separated.
