Document Summary

Meiosis serves 2 major functions: reducing chromosome number, shuffling chromosomes in the cell to produce genetically different gametes. Homologous chromosomes: members of a pair of chromosomes, also called homologous, have the same size, shape, and construction (location of centromere, contain the same genes for the same traits. Homologous pairs may contain different versions of the same gene: alleles alternate forms of a gene. Meiosis 1: homologous pairs line up during synapsis resulting in tetrad, homologous chromosomes of each pair then separate. Meiosis 2: no duplication of chromosomes (no interphase, chromosomes are dyads composed of two sister chromatids, sister chromatids are separated, two daughter nuclei separate. Crossing over: during prophase 1, homologous chromosomes pair up and form a tetrad. This process is called synapsis: each tetrad consists of two chromosomes, with each chromosome containing two chromatids, for a total of four chromatids, when a tetrad forms during synapsis, chromatids from homologous chromosomes may exchange genetic material.

A. The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis I.

B. The pairing or tight association of homologous chromosomes in meiosis I. Results in the formation of a tetrad.

C. Non-identical copies of the same chromosome. Present in all diploid cells, even before replication. These chromosomes are the same length and contain genes for the same characteristics, but may have different alleles for each gene. D.

The period of the cell cycle that includes G1, S phase, and G2. E. A structure that develops during cytokinesis in plants.

F. Condensed chromosomes.

G. An invagination that develops during cytokinesis in animal cells.

H. When an organism has two copies of every chromosome (2n).

I. Two identical copies of a chromosome. These are only present after DNA replication.

J. The phase of the cell cycle when DNA is replicated.

1). Explain the significance of the fact that gametes contain half of the chromosome complement of somatic cells. Tell me something about variation, if you have a sibling (if you don't imagine you do) - how is your sibling's genetic make-up similar and/or different from yours? What about your mom and dad?

2). Explain the terms reductional division and equational division. What is reduced or kept equal? To which nuclear divisions do these terms refer?

3). What is the diploid number (2n = ?) of an organism if it has
a) 12 chromosomes at Anaphase of Mitosis?
b) 12 chromosomes at Anaphase I of Meiosis?
c) 12 chromosomes at Anaphase II of Meiosis?

4). Compare/contrast Metaphase I of Meiosis with Metaphase of Mitosis.

5). What are the two mechanisms of variation in Meiosis, and during which stage(s) does each occur?

6). Draw a diagram of a bivalent and label the following parts: centromere, sister chromatids, non-sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chiasma.

7). A diploid cell has 1 pair of acrocentric chromosomes (Chromosome 1) and 1 pair of submetacentric chromosomes (Chromosome 2).
Â· Gene X is on Chromosome 1. Gene Y is on the short arm of Chromosome 2 and Gene Z is on the long arm of Chromosome 2.
Â· The maternal chromosomes have the X, y, z alleles, whereas the paternal chromosomes have the x, Y, Z alleles.
Draw these chromosomes, labeling ALL alleles, as they might appear in Metaphase I of Meiosis.
