Document Summary

Reading guide for lesson 13 (pages 252 264) Complete this reading guide as you read the textbook pages listed above. You might not have to read every word on every page, rather pay close attention to the questions in this guide and answer them as you work through the textbook. Also pay close attention to the terms that are underlined: these are key terms that you should know the definitions of and be able to apply in new situations. Draw a pair of duplicated homologous chromosomes and label the sister chromatids and the centromere. Describe what chromosomes a child gets from their father and what they get from their mother. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, abbreviated 2n. This will help you distinguish between sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes and will help you work with the n notation. Describe the human life cycle, using the words mitosis, meiosis, sperm, egg, zygote, and fertilization.
