Document Summary

Chromosomes: serve as vehicles for transmitting genetic information. Mitosis: leads to production of two cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Portion of the cell cycle during which the hereditary components are equally partitioned into daughter cells. Meiosis: reduces the genetic content and the number of chromosomes by precisely half. Essential if sexual reproduction is to occur without doubling the amount of genetic material in each new generation. Part of the special type of cell division that leads to the production of gametes: sex cells (aka spores) Essential step in the transmission of genetic information from an organism to its offspring. Nucleolus, ribosomes, and centrioles are involved directly or indirectly with genetic processes. Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own unique genetic information. Plasma membrane: outer covering that defines the cell boundary and delimits the cell from its immediate external environment.

13. Meiosis differs from mitosis in that:
a. meiosis results in the production of two new cells, whilemitosis results in the production for four new
cells., b. meiosis is used for growth and repair, while mitosis isused for production of eggs and sperm., c.
cytokinesis can be unequal following meiosis, but is approximatelyequal following mitosis., d. meiosis
involves one cell division, while mitosis involves two celldivisions., e. meiosis results in the production of
diploid cells, while mitosis results in the production of haploidcells.

synapsis of meiosis I. This process is called:
a. crossing over., b. random mating., c. random fertilization., d.random shuffling of parental
chromosomes.,
e. mutation.
15. The advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproductionis that:
