Sexual Reproduction and Meiosis Textbook Reading: Sections 11.1-11.4
1. Explain what types of cells undergo meiosis, the end result of this process, and how meiosis
increases genetic diversity.
Only those that produce gametes- eggs and sperm
Genetic variation is increased as mutations occur and genes are developed and
inherited
End result- haploid daughter cells with characteristics different than those present in
the parent
2. Define karyotype, autosomes vs. sex chromosomes, diploid vs. haploid number,
homologous chromosomes vs. sister chromatids vs. homologues, and gametes vs. zygote.
Karyotype-# and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an organism
or species
Autosomes-any chromosomes that is not a sex chromosome
Sex chromosomes-one pair of the total of 23 pairs
Diploid-cell containing 2 complete sets of chromosomes; one from each parent; 2n
Haploid-cell having a single set of unpaired chromosomes; n; half the chromosomes
number
Homologous chromosomes-1 maternal and 1 paternal chromosomes that have the
same genes at the same loci
Homologues- a chromosome that is similar in physical attributes and genetic
information to another chromosome with which it pairs during meiosis
Sister chromatids- either of 2 identical copies formed by the replication of a single
chromosome with both copies joined together by a common centromere
Gametes-mature, haploid germ cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex
in sexual reproduction
Zygote-diploid cell resulting from the fusion of 2 haploid gametes; fertilized ovum
3. Describe the events that occur in prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, prophase
II, metaphase II, anaphase II, telophase II of mitosis.
Prophase I
o One diploid, spindle fibers forms, nuclear membrane dissolves; homologous
chromosomes condense and pair; crossing over; tetrad
Metaphase I
o Homologous chromosomes line up along equator the cell; spindle fibers attach
to chromosomes
Anaphase I
o Homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell
Telophase I
