ASIAN-ST 396H Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Sister Chromatids, Telophase, Cytokinesis
Document Summary
Somatic cells (diploid- 46 chromosomes: during interphase (s-phase) 46 chromosomes (cid:0) 92 chromosomes, after mitosis you have 2 identical daughter cells with 46 chromosomes. Metaphase: sister chromatids line up on the metaphase plate. Anaphase- sister chromatids pulled apart and move towards opposite poles. Zygote: diploid fertilized egg (sperm and the ova fused) Meiosis 1: zygote makes two different haploid cells. The chiasmata is the place where the two chromatid segments are switched during crossing over. Metaphase 1: homologous chromosomes line up- form bivalent/tetrad. Random orientation, the tetrads line up in a random order. Anaphase: homologous chromosomes separate and go towards opposite poles. Non- disjunction, when the homologous pairs are unseparated and go to one pole. Meiosis 2: 4 unique daughter cells are created.
