    Study Guide PPT Ans

    Uploaded by

    Oleksii Semeniuk
    The document is a study guide for meiosis that defines key terms and outlines the process. It begins by defining the relationship between genes and alleles and noting that humans have 46 chromosomes derived from each parent. It explains that meiosis reduces the chromosome number and produces unique cells, defining haploid and diploid states. The stages of meiosis I and II are listed in order, including that homologous chromosomes pair and crossover occurs in Prophase I, then separate in Anaphase I. Sister chromatids separate in Anaphase II, resulting in 4 unique daughter cells after cytokinesis in Telophase II.

    Meiosis Study Guide

    1. What is the relationship between a gene and an allele?


    An allele is one form of a gene
    Ex.
    gene = eye color
    allele = blue eyes
    2. How many chromosomes do humans have and where did they
    come from?
    46 (23 from each parent)
    3. Define haploid and diploid. What is the difference between the
    two?
    Haploid (n) = 1 copy of each chromosome
    Diploid(2n) = 2 copies of each chromosome
    4. What is the purpose of meiosis?
    To reduce number of chromosomes
    To create unique daughter cells
    5. Define meiosis.
    a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each
    with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell
    6. What is CROSSING OVER?
    A process occurring during meiosis wherein two
    chromosomes pair up and exchange segments of their
    genetic material.
    7. How many times do chromosomes replicate in
    meiosis?
    once
    8. How many times do they divide in meiosis?
    twice
    9. What happens to sister chromatids in meiosis? And which phase
    does this occur in?
     They exchange genetic information (cross over)
     Prophase I & metaphase I
    10. What is a tetrad? Where does formation of a tetrad occur during
    meiosis (which phase)?
     2 homologous chromosomes that form a pair
     Prophase I
    11. What are homologous chromosomes?
     Chromosomes that are similar in structure and function (not identical)
    12. What is a homologue?
     Something that is similar in structure and function
    13. What EVENT of meiosis only occurs during meiosis I?
     Crossing over
     List the stages of MEIOSIS in ORDER and describe what happens during each stage (be
    thorough).

     Prophase I
     DNA condenses to form chromosomes, centrioles move to
    opposite sides
     Homologous chromosomes pair & form tetrads, crossing
    over occurs
     Metaphase I
     Homologous chromosomes line up at cell’s equator
     Anaphase I
     Homologous chromosomes separate and move to
    opposite sides of the cell
     Telophase I
     Nuclear membrane reforms, cytokinesis occurs, 2 haploid
    cells are formed
    Prophase II
    Nuclear membrane disappears, centrioles
    move to opposite sides of cell, spindle fibers
    appear
    Metaphase II
    Chromosomes line up at cell’s equator
    Anaphase II
    Sister chromatids separate and move to
    opposite sides of the cell
    Telophase II
    Nuclear membrane reforms, cytokinesis
    occurs, 4 unique cells are formed
    condense
