Document Summary

Visible when stained and preparing for nuclear division. Nb: haploid and diploid refer to the number of chromosomes. A chromosome cannot be haploid or diploid. Purpose: (in animals) produce haploid gametes (half the parents" genetic material) Mechanism: only one of each pair of homologous chromosomes gets into each gamete. Happy ending: gametes from the two parent fuse, restoring the original number of chromosomes in the fertilized egg (zygote) Produces 4 haploid cells from 1 diploid cells. At the end of meiosis i, the 2 cells are already haploid. Meiosis ii splits the 2 sister chromatids to 1 chromatid. Each pair of homologous chromosomes line up path the metaphase i plate. There is a 50:50 change that a daughter cell will get one chromosome or the other. The way in which the chromosomes line up will change which combination the daughter cells get. In males, the sex chromosomes normally cross over only at their tips.

c) synapsis

d) both crossing over and random alignment at metaphase I

2. What would happen if crossing over occurred between sister chromatids?

a) Genetic diversity would decrease due to the loss of gene combinations.

b) Genetic diversity would increase due to the addition of gene combinations.

c) Gene rearrangement would lead to changes in gene expression.
