Document Summary

Gametes/haploid: cells that combine in fertilization to make a new organisms; 1 copy of each chromosome. Somatic/diploid: all the rest of the cells in the body; contain 2 copies of each chromosome. One copy from maternal parent, one from paternal parent. 2 copies of each chromosomes -- total 46 chromosomes/somatic cell. Homologous chromosomes (homologs): each pair of identical chromosomes. Karyotype: display of all the chromosomes in the somatic cell. Autosomes way to identify chromosomal abnormalities chromosomes are broken apart and photographed. Chromosomes 1-22 have homologous paris of chromosomes and are identical to each other in both males and females. Males: xy (males only have 22 identical pairs of chromosomes) Fertilization is where a haploid sperm fuses with a haploid egg to produce a diploid zygote. Egg and sperm cells contain one copy of each chromosome. Meiosis 1 homologous pairs line up at center and separate each daughter cells ends up with only 1 type of each chromosome.
