Determine if the following events occur during Mitosis, Meiosis I, Meiosis II, Mitosis and Meiosis, Mitosis and Meiosis I, or Mitosis and Meiosis II. (Answers may be used once, more than once or not at all. Be as accurate as possible with your answer.)

___ 1. The chromosome number is reduced by half.

___ 2. The amount of DNA in the cell is twice the amount of a normal diploid cell in G1.

___ 3. DNA is replicated during S phase.

___ 4. Homologous chromosomes separate.

___ 5. Sister chromatids separate.

___ 6. Chromosomes condense and align along the metaphase plate.

___ 7. Homologous chromosomes align and undergo crossing over.

___ 8. Has one round of division per round of DNA replication.

___ 9. The number of chromatids is equal to the number of chromosomes of a diploid cell in G1.

___ 10. Tetrads align on the metaphase plate.

a. Mitosis and Meiosis I only

b. Both Mitosis and Meiosis

c. Meiosis II only

d. Mitosis and Meiosis II only

e. Mitosis only

f. Meiosis I only

1). Explain the significance of the fact that gametes contain half of the chromosome complement of somatic cells. Tell me something about variation, if you have a sibling (if you don't imagine you do) - how is your sibling's genetic make-up similar and/or different from yours? What about your mom and dad?

2). Explain the terms reductional division and equational division. What is reduced or kept equal? To which nuclear divisions do these terms refer?

3). What is the diploid number (2n = ?) of an organism if it has
a) 12 chromosomes at Anaphase of Mitosis?
b) 12 chromosomes at Anaphase I of Meiosis?
c) 12 chromosomes at Anaphase II of Meiosis?

4). Compare/contrast Metaphase I of Meiosis with Metaphase of Mitosis.

5). What are the two mechanisms of variation in Meiosis, and during which stage(s) does each occur?

6). Draw a diagram of a bivalent and label the following parts: centromere, sister chromatids, non-sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chiasma.

7). A diploid cell has 1 pair of acrocentric chromosomes (Chromosome 1) and 1 pair of submetacentric chromosomes (Chromosome 2).
· Gene X is on Chromosome 1. Gene Y is on the short arm of Chromosome 2 and Gene Z is on the long arm of Chromosome 2.
· The maternal chromosomes have the X, y, z alleles, whereas the paternal chromosomes have the x, Y, Z alleles.
Draw these chromosomes, labeling ALL alleles, as they might appear in Metaphase I of Meiosis.

Hello can you help me with the following questions:

1. Which part of an udder was transferred to an empty oocyte to clone the sheep Dolly?

a. blastocyst (I think its this one)

b. meiotic spindle

c. intact udder cell

d. nucleus

2. What is the principle of nuclear equivalence?

a. Differentiated cells have lost DNA that codes for other cell types.

b. All nuclei are the same shape.

c. Only nuclei of germ cells contain DNA capable of producing an entire organism.

d. The genome of every somatic cell contains information capable of generating any other cell type in the body.

3. A gene contains 6 exons, numbered 1-6. Which of the following mRNA isoforms is not a possible transcriptional product of this gene?

a. 1-2-3-4-5-6

b. 2-5-3-4

c. 2-4-5-6

d. 5-6

4. Which of the following is a mechanism used to alter gene expression using mRNA transcripts?

a. Different stability (longevity) of mRNA transcripts

b. Inhibition of translation of certain mRNAs

c. Production of small RNA molecules (microRNAs) that block translation

d. All of the above

e. None of the above

5. You have recently started working in an embryology lab and have obtained a large number of unfertilized zebrafish oocytes. You decide to treat the oocytes with RNAse (a protein that will degrade RNAs, but leave DNA proteins intact) prior to fertilizing them. Will the resulting embryos develop into normal fish?

a. Yes, because RNAs from sperm cells can replace those lost from the egg.

b. Yes, because intact DNA is the only factor required for development to proceed.

c. No, because RNAse treatment will damage the structure of the oocyte.

d. No, because maternal mRNAs are required for the early stages of development.
