Document Summary

Parents endow their offspring with coded information in heredity units in the form of genes. In animals and plants, reproductive cells called gametes transmit genes from one generation to the next. Humans have 46 chromosomes in somatic cells. A gene"s specific location along the length of a chromosome is called a gene"s locus. In asexual reproduction, a single individual is the sole parent and passes copies of tis genes to offspring without fusion of gametes: give rise to a genetically identical clone. In sexual reproduction, 2 parents give rise to offspring with genetic variation. Meiosis and fertilization"s timing in the life cycle varies based on species: can be grouped into 3 main life cycles, animals, 2. The stages of meiosis there are 2 consecutive cell divisions, meiosis 1 and meiosis 2, producing 4 haploid daughter cells sister chromatids makeup one chromosome and and the two chromosomes were inherited form each parent (homologous pair)

Related Questions

Just to keep you in practice, a couple of the much beloved multiple multiple choiceâ¦

1. An increase in CO₂ levels in the blood directly or indirectly causes which of the following?

A) an increases in ventilation rate

B) a decrease in the pH

C) a decrease in hemogloginâs binding affinity for O₂

D) a decrease in the O₂ levels in the blood

E) an immediate increase in the number of red blood cells found in the blood stream

2. _____ Females that reproduce sexually versus asexually are said to incur a âtwo-fold cost of sexual reproduction.â Which of the following costs are associated with sexual reproduction for females?

A) MALES! That do-nothing lot really does not directly contribute offspring to the next generation. Females would be better off making all daughters.

B) FEMALES! In most natural settings, those daughters compete with their mothers for potential mates and resources needed to successfully reproduce.

C) MITOSIS! Since sexual reproduction can produce many more offspring than asexual reproduction, there are energetic costs associated with the mitotic divisions required to produce those offspring.

D) MEIOSIS! Every time a gamete is produced, the parent loses a little bit of itself. Half to be precise since only half of its genes are passed on to sexually produced offspring.

E) DIVERSITY! Mothers maximize fitness if all offspring are genetically just like them. Sexual reproduction causes genetic diversity, which ultimately lowers the fitness of both parents.

Mitosis is the process by which a ___________ cell separates the chromosomes in its nucleus into two identical sets of nuclei.

Question 4 options:

	eukaryotic
	prokaryotic
	bacterial
	all of these are correct

Question 5 (2 points)

Which of the following statements about crossing over is INCORRECT?

Question 5 options:

	It occurs between homologous chromosomes
	It allows for two parents to produce many different types of offspring
	It contributes to genetic diversity in a population
	It occurs during prophase I of mitosis

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:
a. all young are genetically identical to the parent., b. malesmust evolve a copulatory organ., c. genetic
variability in the population is increased., d. females must evolvea vagina., e. mates are not needed.
16. Many different types of information are used to constructphylogenetic trees. Which of the following types
of information is the most direct measure of evolutionaryrelatedness?
a. physiology, b. gene sequence data, c. the fossil record, d.information about the structure of ribosomes.,
e. information about the structure of enzymes
17. A species is:
a. a group of individuals that can interbreed under naturalconditions and produce fertile offspring., b.
denoted by both a genus and a species name., c. the onlybiologically defined taxon., d. a group of
organisms with a large number of traits in common., e. all of theabove.

bodies; C. 1 haploid cell becomes 4 diploid cells; D. Both A andB
