7.4 SG

Question 1

Meiosis

Answer 1

a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells

Question 2

Fertilization

Answer 2

combination of 2 gametes

Question 3

Homologous chromosomes

Answer 3

pairs of chromosomes in a diploid organism that have similar genes, although not necessarily identical

Question 4

Sister chomatids

Answer 4

the identical copies formed by the DNA replication of a chromosome, with both copies joined together by a common centromere.

Question 5

Haploid

Answer 5

a cell that contains a single set of chromosomes.

Question 6

Diploid

Answer 6

a cell that contain two copies of each chromosome.

Question 7

Somatic cell

Answer 7

the cells in the body other than sperm and egg cells

Question 8

Gamete

Answer 8

a reproductive cell of an animal or plant

Question 9

Crossing over

Answer 9

a cellular process that happens during meiosis when chromosomes of the same type are lined up

Question 10

Independent Assortment

Answer 10

the alleles of two different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another.

Question 11

Sexual reproduction

Answer 11

the production of new organisms by the combination of genetic information of two individuals

Question 12

Asexual reproduction

Answer 12

a type of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent.

Question 13

Explaining how genetic variation can occur in asexual reproduction vs sexual reproduction

Answer 13

Asexual reproduction generates an offspring that is genetically identical to a single parent and sexual reproduction has 2 parents that give the offspring unique traits

Question 14

Comparing and contrasting prophase of mitosis with prophase I and II of meiosis

Answer 14

In prophase of mitosis each chromosome is repressed twice while in meiosis each chromosome is repressed once

Question 15

Comparing and contrasting metaphase of mitosis with metaphase I and II of meiosis

Answer 15

During mitosis with metaphase 1 it has pairs of chromsomes while metaphase 1 in meiosis chromosomes have spindle fibers

Question 16

Comparing and contrasting anaphase of mitosis with anaphase I and II of anaphase

Answer 16

Anaphase 1 separates homologous chromosomes while anaphase 2 separates sister chromatids

Question 17

Comparing and contrasting parent and daughter cells of mitosis and meiosis

Answer 17

Mitosis has 2 identical daughter cells from a single parent cell while meiosis produces a genetically identical cell from the parent
