36
what is the result of meiosis II?
23 single chromosomes, 1N
37

spermatogenesis and oogenesis
39
47 chromosomes
trisomy
40
45 chromosomes
monosomy
41
what is the difference between spermatogenesis and oogenesis?
the timing of events during meiosis
42
when does oogenesis begin?
before birth
43
when does oogenesis end?
after puberty
44
where do some primordial germ cells get stranded during migration?
extragonadal sites
45
what can stray primordial germ cells give rise to?
tetratoma
46
what do the primordial germ cells differentiate into?
oogonia
47
what do oogonia give rise to by DNA replication?
oocytes
48
when are all primary oocytes formed by?
5th month
49
when are no oogonia present?
at birth | female has entire supply of primary oocytes at birth
50
what phase do primary oocytes remain dormant in from 5th month to puberty?
prophase 1 of meiosis
51
what happens to the primary oocyte with each cycle?
meiosis I >> forms 2 daughter cells (secondary oocyte and first polar body)
52
what does the secondary oocyte enter?
meiosis II
53
what does the first polar body do?
released and degenerates before ovulation
54
which hormones control the ovarian cycle?
- follicle stimulating hormone | - leteinizing horome
55
which hormone negatively feeds back and shuts down the GnRH for LH?
progesterone
56
when ovulation occurs, secondary oocyte chromosomes align at what?
metaphase plate
57
where do secondary oocyte remain arrested>
in uterine tube in metaphase meiosis II
58
when will oogenesis be completed?

59
what is resulted from the secondary oocyte completing meiosis II?
- mature oocyte | - second polar body
60
where does fertilization occur?
uterine tube
61
3 phases of spermatogenesis

62
what is the production of primary spermatocytes from spermatogonia?
spermatocytogenesis
63
2 types of spermatogonia

union of sex cells or gametes is called what?
conception (results from fertilization)
74
what is the female gamete and where is it produced?
- egg (ovum) | - produced in ovary
75
what is the male gamete and where is it produced?

76
what is the process of making gametes called?
gametogenesis
77
what is the product of fertilization called?
zygote
78
where does fertilization occur?
Fallopian tube, oviduct, uterine tube

meiosis
81
what is the chromosome number of gametes?
haploid
82
what does a single chromosome consist of?
- 1 sister chromatid - 2N - 2 arms separated by centromere
83
what does a duplicated chromosome consist of?
- 2 sister chromatids - 4N - chromatids connected by centromere
84
what is the ploidy number for somatic cells?
haploid, 1N
85
how many autosomal and sex chromosomes do somatic cells have?
autosomal = 22 pairs sex = 1 pair
86
how many autosomal and sex chromosomes do gametes have?
autosomal = 22 chromosomes sex = 1 chromosome
