Document Summary

Allows two diploid organisms to create monoploid gametes. These join to create diploid offspring that are a new combination of parental alleles. Variations in alleles can affect fitness in a given environment. There are 2 copies of each chromosome (diploid) 4 = the total number of chromosomes in nucleus. Another measure of genetic content i. e. a diploid cell = 2c. G1: prepares proteins for the next phase, growth. Sister chromatid (two of the same) : connected by a centromere. Identical to each other because they are replicated produced in the s phase. Independent assortment: homologous chromosomes are distributed independently of each other. I doesn"t mater what side they are on. Homologous chromosomes separate and move towards opposite poles. Very short and only occurs in some eukaryotes. The chromosome is already condensed at prophase 1 so you don"t need to recondence. Sister chromatids line up at the metaphase plate.
