Q

When does crossing over occur?

A

prophase I (crossing over is with sister chromatids)

27
Q

What are tetrads?

A

tetrads are formed by synapses of sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes in prophase I (tetrads are 4 of each chromosome)

28
Q

When is DNA copied in meiosis?

A

BEFORE meiosis I

29
Q

Is DNA copied before meiosis II?

A

NO

30
Q

How does meiosis differ from mitosis?

A
31
Q

Why do we need meiosis?

A

sexual reproduction, fertilization, and normal cell functions

32
Q

Where does meiosis take place?

A

inside the testes and ovaries

33
Q

What does meiosis generate?

A

gametes

34
Q

What is spermatogenesis? Where does it begin?

A

-process of sperm production
-begins at the outermost cell layer within seminiferous tubules (within testicles)

35
Q

What are the 5 cells of spermatogenesis?

A

1) spermatogonia
2) primary spermatocytes
3) secondary spermatocytes
4) spermatids
5) spermatozoa

36
Q

What are spermatogonia?

A

-stem cells that divide by mitosis to produce 2 daughter cells
-one cell remains as spermatogonium (for self-renewal)
-and the other differentiates into primary spermatocyte

37
Q

What are primary spermatocytes?

A

cells that begin meiosis I and form secondary spermatocytes for meiosis II

38
Q

What are secondary spermatocytes?

A

cells that differentiate into spermatids (immature gametes) during meiosis II

39
Q

What are spermatids?

A

immature gamete cells that differentiate into spermatozoa

40
Q

What are spermatozoa?

A

cells that lose contact with the wall of seminiferous tubule or the testes and enters fluid in the lumen

41
Q

fill in the blanks:

A

2, 4

42
Q

Spermatogenesis involves 3 integrated processes. What are they?

A

-mitosis (to not run out of cells, specifically spermatogonia)
-meiosis (to produce gametes/haploid cells)
-spermiogenesis (shape change to lose cell-cell contact)

43
Q

Mitosis is a part of __________ cell division that produces ______________ daughter cells. Both have identical pairs of chromosomes

A

somatic, 2 diploid

44
Q

Gametes contain _________________, half of the normal amount (HAPLOID)

A

23 chromosomes (NOT PAIRS)

45
Q

Fusion of male and female gametes produces a __________ with _______ chromosomes

A

zygote, 46

46
Q

In a male, spermatogenesis only occurs in the testes within the seminiferous tubules. The process begins with primary spermatocytes and produces….

A

Secondary spermatocytes > spermatids

47
Q

The formation of gametes in the ovaries is termed….

A

oogenesis

48
Q

When does spermatogenesis begin in males compared to oogenesis in females?

A

spermatogenesis beings at puberty

oogenesis begins before birth

note: oogenesis occurs in essentially the same manner as spermatogenesis, where meiosis takes place and the resulting germ cells undergo maturation

49
Q

During early fetal development, primordial (primitive) ________ cells migrate to the ovaries where they will differentiate into ________

A

germ, oogonia

50
Q

What are oogonia?

A

diploid (2n) stem cells that divide mitotically to produce millions of germ cells

51
Q

Some oogonia develop into larger calls called ________________ that enter prophase of meiosis I during fetal development but do not complete the phase until after puberty. During the arrested stage of development, each primary oocyte is surrounded by a single layer of flat follicular cells, and the entire structure is called a ______________________________

A

primary oocytes, primordial ovarian follicle

52
Q

Each month after puberty until menopause, a primordial ovarian follicle will develop into a __________ ovarian follicle and then a ______________ ovarian follicle

A

primary, secondary

53
Q

Each month after puberty until menopause, a primordial ovarian follicle will develop into a primary ovarian follicle and then a secondary ovarian follicle. The secondary ovarian follicle becomes larger turning into a tertiary ovarian follicle. Within the follicle, the __________ primary oocyte completes meiosis I, producing _____________ cells of unequal size, each with 23 chromosomes. The smaller cell produced by meiosis I is called the __________________ and is discarded. The larger cell is the secondary oocyte, once formed it begins meiosis II but then stops in ______________. The tertiary follicle soon ruptures and releases its secondary oocyte, a process known as ovulation

A

diploid, 2 haploid (n), first polar body, metaphase

54
Q

What hormone triggers the follicle? What does it do?

A

FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone)
-allows follicle to get bigger and protect the oocyte inside

55
Q

Which follicle releases a lot of estrogen? What is this a signal for?

A

tertiary ovarian follicle releases a lot of estrogen

this is a signal for the pituitary gland to release LH (luteinizing hormone)

LH is a chemical messenger that sends message to the tertiary follicle to go to the surface of the ovary, fuse with the ovary wall, and pop out the oocyte, this is called ovulation

56
Q

What happens after the oocyte is released?

A

follicle is still in the ovary and will be recycled to corpus luteum, which is a progesterone producing factory

57
Q

Primary oocyte goes through meiosis I and makes 2 cells. What are they?

A

primary oocyte will transition into a secondary oocyte and the second cell is called a polar body

the secondary oocyte undergoes meiosis II

58
Q

Does the secondary oocyte fully go through meiosis II?

A

no!

will not complete meiosis II until it is in contact with the head of the sperm

SO, there will be only 1 gamete after oogenesis, not 4 gametes like in spermatogenesis

59
Q

Where are ovarian follicles found?

A

in the stroma of the ovaries

60
Q

When are oocytes suspended?

A

prophase I

FSH is the signal to continue meiosis I during puberty

61
Q

If the follicle responds to the FSH signal then they will get more complicated and bigger by taking up what?

A

follicular fluid to help with nutrition (which will end up in the space called the antrum)

and the cells around the follicle will increase in number and release estrogen

62
Q

What hormone causes ovulation?

A

LH

63
Q

Which cell is ovulated?

A

secondary oocyte (during meiosis II)

64
Q

During fertilization, genetic material from a sperm and a secondary oocyte merge to form a….

A

single diploid nucleus
