Meiosis

Question 1

How are gametes made

Answer 1

Meiosis

Question 2

Where does meiosis only happen in humans

Answer 2

The reproductive organs

Question 3

Process of meiosis

1. it d… its genetic i…
2. it then arranges the c… into p…
3. in the first … the chromosome pairs line up in … of the cell
4. the pairs are p… apart so each cell only has … copy of each c…
5. in the second … the chromosomes line up at the … of the cell and the … of the chromosomes are pulled apart by cell …
6. this produces … genetically … gametes

Answer 3

1. it duplicates its generic information
2. it then arranges the chromosomes into pairs
3. in the first division the chromosome pairs line up in centre of the cell
4. the pairs are pulled apart so each cell only has one copy of each chromosome
5. in the second division the chromosomes line up at the centre of the cell and the arms of the chromosomes are pulled apart by cell fibres
6. this produces four genetically different gametes

Question 4

How many divisions are in meiosis

Answer 4

2

Question 5

What happened after 2 gametes have fused

-The resulting cell … by m… to make a copy of i…
-this repeated to p… lots of cells in an e…
-as it d… it’s cells start to d… into different s… cells

Answer 5

-The resulting cell divides by mitosis to make a copy of itself
-this repeated to produce lots of cells in an embryo
-as it develops it’s cells start to differentiate into different specialised cells
