Document Summary

Structure of eukaryotic chromosomes: centromere, nucleosomes, formed by wrapping of coils of double stranded dna, once coiled around histoproteins, no longer available for expression. Mitosis in plants: virtually identical to animals, except that , plant do not contain centrioles or centrosomes, i(cid:374)stead, they ha(cid:448)e (cid:862)(cid:373)i(cid:272)rotu(cid:271)ule orga(cid:374)izi(cid:374)g (cid:272)e(cid:374)ters(cid:863) Gametes: haploid egg or sperm cell produced for sexual reproduction, fertilization, the union of egg or sperm cells during sexual reproduction that results in the formation of a zygote with the diploid number of chromosomes restored to normal. Chromosomes ha(cid:448)e (cid:271)ee(cid:374) dupli(cid:272)ated, (cid:271)ut (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t (cid:271)e i(cid:374)di(cid:448)idually disti(cid:374)guished. Each pair, with four chromatids, is called a tetrad. Nuclear envelope begins to fragment and disappear. Homologous chromosomes come together & line up as pairs by synapsis. Non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material by crossing over. Bivalents (homologous pairs of chromosomes) are held together by chiasmata. Tetrads/bivalents move towards, and become aligned at the metaphase plate. Alignment of each pair is independent of all others.
