meiosis Flashcards
(20 cards)
homologous chrmosomes
each pair of chromosomes
karyotype
all of an organisms chromosomes photographed, cut out, arranges by homologous pairs
are body cells diploids or haploids
diploids
are sex cells diploid or haploid?
haploid
meiosis 1
chromosome number is halved. homologous pairs are seperated
meiosis 2
2 sister chromatids of each duplicated chromosomes are seperated from each other
crossing over
non sister chromatids from homologous pairs exchange genetic information
effects of crossing over
after crossing over, each chromosome contains parts of the chromosome from both maternal and paternal segments
nondisjunction
chromosome pairs dont seperate during miosis- resulting in abnormal gametes
interphase one
replication occurs
prophase 1
sister chromatids pair
metaphase 1
tetrqds line up at equator
anaphase 1
tetrads split
telophase 1 and cytokenesis 1
2 haploid cells form
prophase 2
nothing occurs
metaphase 2
2 sister chromatids line up in equator
anaphase 2
sister chromatids split, non disfunction may occur here
telophase and cytokenisis 2
both cells divide to form 4 haploid sex cells
what cell did mieosis start with?
body cell
is meiosis sexual or asexual?
sexual
