Document Summary

4/2/2012 6:11:00 am: produces daughter cells with the 2n chromosome number. Meiosis: cell division for gamete production, in specialized tissues, produces cells with the 1n chromosome number, two divisions, meiosis i separates homologous chromosomes, meiosis ii separates sister chromatids. Asexual reproduction: mitotic division, identical offspring (to parents) Sexual reproduction: fuse gametes from parents (syngamy) to produce a zygote, each parent contributes half the genetic material, increase the diversity of offspring. Different combinations of chromosomes: increase the potential types of offspring. We inherit our mitochondria from our: mother. Stages of meiosis: prophase i, spindle formation, breakdown of nuclear envelope, nucleoli disappear, chromosomes condense, each chromosome consists of two chromatids from s phase of. Interphase: as in mitosis, during s phase dna is replicated, giving rise to chromosomes consisting of two sister chromatids. Crossing over: called chiasma (chiasmata plural, hold homologous chromosomes together, can result in a physical exchange of genetic material between homologs, recombinant chromosomes results.
