Meiosis Unit 10 Lab Report
Excellent work! A cell goes from diploid (2N) to haploid (1N) during meiosis I when pairs of homologous chromosomes split apart into different daughter cells. This haploid condition continues during meiosis II when sister chromatids split apart during the formation of four daughter cells.
Score for incorrect answer: 0
General feedback 1 (May include media. Include graphic and file name): Remember that a diploid cell has pairs of chromosomes—each pair represents one chromosome that came from the organism’s male parent and another that came from the organism’s female parent. Try again.
General feedback 2 (May include media. Include graphic and file name): Remember that homologous chromosome pairs split apart during the first phase of meiosis.

    9. 1. One way in which meiosis brings about genetic recombination is from the fact that the segregation of each pair of homologs occurs independently of the others. In other words, which member of a pair of homologs, maternal or paternal goes to a given pole is independent of the others. This separation occurs in anaphase…

    There are 2 ways that the fomites can be transmitted. These include direct and indirect transmission. Direct transmission occurs when there is physical contact between an infected person and a susceptible person. Indirect contact transmission occurs when there is no direct human-to-human contact. Contact occurs from a reservoir to contaminated surfaces or objects, or to vectors such as insects or animals. Direct contact infections spread when microorganisms pass from the infected person to the healthy person via direct physical contact with blood or body fluids. Examples of direct contact are touching, kissing, sexual contact, contact with oral secretions, or contact with body lesions. Indirect contact infections spread when an infected person…

    3) Humans have somatic cells, which are any cell other than a gamete, have 23 pairs of chromosomes. A karyotype is an ordered display of the paired of chromosomes from a cell. The 2 chromosomes in each pair are called homologous chromosomes or homologs. The sex chromosomes are X and Y. Human females have a homologous pair of X chromosomes (XX). Human males have one X and Y chromosome. The 22 pairs of chromosomes that do not determine sex are called autosomes. Each pair of homologous chromosomes includes one chromosome from each parent. The 46 chromosomes in a human somatic cell are two sets of 23 one from the mother and one from the father. A diploid cell (2n) has two sets of chromosomes. For humans the diploid number is 46 (2n=46).…

    Response Feedback: Meiosis occurs only in replicating gametes or reproducing cells. In phase one, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half but the chromatid pairs remain together. In phase two, the chromatids split apart forming four daughter cells. Non-germ cells such as red blood cells or skin cells undergo mitosis.For more information on this topic, consult:Carol Mattson Porth and Glen Matfin, Pathophysiology, 8th Edition, page(s) 122-123, 123fCarol Mattson Porth, Essentials of Pathophysiology, 2nd Edition, page(s) 52-53, 53f Elizabeth J.

    Meiosis is the process of cell division in which gametes are produced. It results in four haploid (IN) cells from two diploid (2N) cells (Cyr). In meiosis I, crossing over and independent assortment of the chromosomes occur. These two processes increase the genetic variation within the cell either benefiting or hurting the cell’s ability to adapt (natural selection). After these two events have occurred, the chromosomes will then proceed through all four stages and produce two daughter cells (Cyr). In meiosis II, the two daughter cells each again proceed…

    In relation to the diagram of spermatogenesis, each human Spermatogonium (germ stem cell) gives rise to many Spermatogonia by mitosis. So the number of chromosomes in each Spermatogonium cell is conserved at 46 chromosomes. Each Spermatogonium will then grow and develop into a Spermatocyte I which will duplicate its DNA so that each of its 46 chromosomes will have two chromatids per each chromosome at the end of the growth stage. Each Spermatocyte I will divide by Meiosis I (reductional meiosis) to give rise to two haploid. http://www.scienceaid.co.uk/biology/genetics/reproduction.html…

    Experiment: 1. A common misconception about meiosis appears when students identify which of the two divisions converts a diploid cell into two haploid cells. Meiosis I is the division immediately following DNA replication and replication does not occur again before meiosis II. However, meiosis I is the "reduction" division when a diploid cell forms two haploid cells. If the DNA duplicated before meiosis I, how do the daughter cells become haploid?…
