Cell Cycle

Question 0

Ploidy

Answer 0

Diploid- both maternal and paternal

Haploid- just one copy

Question 1

Mitosis

Answer 1

Produce two cells with same chromosome number and content as the original
Each parent has 22 autosomal pairs of chromosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes xx or xy

Question 2

Mitotic phases

Answer 2

Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telephase

Question 3

Meiosis

Answer 3

Sequence of two cell divisions that results in the formation of four cells that have half the DNA of the parent cell

Restricted to the gametes

Question 4

Crossing over

Answer 4

Occurs during first prophase
Meiosis II very similar to mitosis resulting cells are haploid
Results in daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell

Question 5

Meiosis in males

Meiosis in females

Answer 5

Result in 4 spermatids

Results in 1 ovum and 3 polar bodies, cell divisions are unequal, the ovum gets the majority of cytoplasm

Question 6

Pachytene

Answer 6

Crossing over event results in unique genetic combination

During meiosis I

Question 7

Metaphase I

Answer 7

Maternal and paternal chromosomes align randomly so progeny have more of a contribution of maternal or paternal chromosomes
