25
What occurs during prophase 1?
-Chromosomes condense -Nuclear enveloppe fragments -Synapsis -cross over
26
What is the synapsis?
-Tight paring of the homologous chromosomes -genes are aligned precisely with each other -forming a tetrad
27
What is the principle of cross over?
Exchanging segments of DNA to produce genetically recombined chromosomes
28
Where occurs the cross over?
At the chiamasta
29
What are the two main things occurring in Prometaphase 1?
-homologous chromosomes are attached to spindle microtubules at the end of kinetochore shared by the sister chromatids -nuclear membrane has broken down entirely
30
Are homologous chromosomes identical if not what is the explanation?
No — contains different version of the same gene
31
What are the two main event occurring in metaphase 1?
-homologous chromosomes are arranged at the metaphase plate -tetrads line up at the midway point between the two poles of the cell to form metaphase plate
32
In which phase does the indépendant assortment is done?
Metaphase 1 — Radom assortments of tetrads on the metaphase plates
33
What is the result of random assortment in metaphase 1?
Produces a unique combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes that will make their way into gametes
34
In what phase does the cross over occur in meiosis?
Prophase 1
35
How recombinant chromatids with new combinations of maternal and paternal genes is made?
By crossover event between non-sister chromatids of each homologous pair of chromosomes
36
What are the 3 main events occurring in Anaphase 1?
-Spindle microtubules pull the homologous chromosomes appart -sister chromatids are still attached at the centromere -chiamasta are broken
37
What is the two main event occurring in telophase 1?
-sister chromatids arrive at opposites poles — are decondense -nuclear envelope forms around each nucleus and the cytoplasm
38
What is the two main event occurring in telophase 1?
-sister chromatids arrive at opposites poles — are decondense -nuclear envelope forms around each nucleus and the cytoplasm
39
What is the result of the first meiosis?
2 haploid cells (only one chromosome set)
40
What is the ultimate goal of meiosis 2?
That the 2 cell produced in meiosis one go through meiosis 2 and form 4 new haploid gametes
41
What are the 3 things that occurs in prophase II?
-sister chromatids condense again -spindle begin to form -nuclear envelope start to fragment
42
What are the two main things occurring in Prometaphase II?
-nuclear enveloppe completely broken -each sister chromatids forms individual kinetochore
43
What happens during Metaphase II?
Sister chromatids line up at the metaphase plate
44
What happens during anaphase II?
-Sister chromatids are pulled apart by the shortening of the kinetochore
45
What occurs during telophase II?
-chromosome arrive at poles and decondense -nuclear envelope surrounds the four nuclei
46
how does the two cells divide into 4 haploid cell during cytokinesis of meiosis 2?
By cleavage furrow
47
Name 3 major difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?
Mitosis: -One cell division -result = 2 nuclei (genetically identical) Meiosis: -2 cell division -result = 4 nuclei haploid (each one unique combination) **Crossing over during Meoisis 1
48
When does segregation happens in meiosis?
Anaphase I and II
49
What are two characteristics of homologous chromosomes?
-same length -specific nucleotide segments (genes exactly at the same location)
50
what is aneuploidy?
Individual with an error in chromosome number
51
What is monosomy?
Individual losing one chromosome
52
What is trisomy?
Individual gaining an extraneous chromosome
53
What are autosomes?
Non-ses chromosomes
54
What is the major difference between haploid and diploid cells?
Haploid cells have a single set of chromosomes Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes that will
55
Are gametes haploid or diploid cells?
Haploid
56
What are the arrangement of chromosomes within humain body?
22 homologous pairs of autosomes + 1 homologous pair of sex chromosomes
57
What is the role of apoptosis?
Allows cell to die in a controlled manner that prevents the release of potentially damaging molecules
58
What can initiate apoptosis?
-abnormalities -external signaling
59
What is the advantage of apoptosis for the immune system?
Helps eliminating infected, aged cells
60
What is the consequence of monosomic zygote missing one copy of an autosome?
-Fail to develop to birth -lack essentials genes
61
How many chromosomes does human somatic cells contains?
46 chromosomes
62
How aneuploidy occurs in meiosis?
By nondisjunction of chromosomes, they fail to separate — don’t complete the process of cell division
63
What is the law of segregation?
Paired unit factors must be segregate equally into gametes such that offsprings have equal likelihood of inheriting either factors
64
What is the law of indépendant assortment?
Genes do not influence each other with regard to the sorting of alleles into gametes
65
What are dominant allele?
Expressed exclusively — only need one allele to be expressed
66
What are recessive allele?
« Latent » allele — only be expressed by offspring if they have two copies of this allele
