Document Summary

Mitosis results in identical body cells. Chromosome: tightly coiled combination of a dna molecule and specialized proteins called histones: found in cell nucleus, histones and dna are to support and control gene activity, dna directs development and maintenance of body. Gene: specific segment of dna that directs synthesis of a protein, which in turn plays a structural/functional role in the cell: determine expression of a particular characteristic. Homologous chromosome pairs: 2 chromosomes (1 from mom, and 1 from dad) with genes for the same traits. Diploid: any call with 2 of each kind of chromosome. Sex chromosome: determine gender; 1 of 23 pairs. Autosomes: other 22 pairs; determine expression of inherited traits. Genetic material in long, thin threads called chromatin. Centromere: where the 2 copies of chromosomes are attached. Cell division: appropriate environment and dna properly replicated, mitosis: division of nucleus, cytokinesis: division of cytoplasm. Arranging each chromosome is size order to help check for abnormalities.

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).
Â· 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.
Â· 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.

Which of the following statements are false about the comparison between mitosis and meiosis? Select all. that apply.

1.Two cytokinesis events occur in mitosis but only one in meiosis

2.Meiosis results in half the number of homologous chromosome pairs as the original cell whereas mitosis has the same number as the original cell

3. Mitosis occurs in somatic cells while meiosis only occurs in germ cells

4.Both haploid and diploid cells undergo mitosis and meiosis

5.Both mitosis and meiosis have one round of DNA replication in the preceding Interphase period

6. Chromosomes undergo disjunction in mitosis but not in meiosis

7.Meiosis leads to a reductive division in the number of chromosomes whereas mitosis does not
