Meiosis 1. What does it mean when two sets of chromosomes are homologous? It means that each of the four chromosomes that come from the male parent has a corresponding chromosomes from the female parent. 2. Highlight the letter of each way to describe a diploid cell. a. 2N b. Contains two sets of homologous chromosomes c. Contains a single set of homologous chromosomes d. A gamete 3. Highlight the letter of the number of chromosomes in a haploid cell where 2n=8 . a. 8 b. 4 c. 2 d. 0

Gene Mapping in Ascospore Sordaria Cultures by Recombination Abstract The laboratory experiment demonstrates the process of meiosis using the Sordaria Fimicola fungi. Meiosis is important because it is the process that generates diversity in genetics. A wildtype was crossed with two mutant types: tan and grey. In order to exhibit recombination‚ the sequence of ascospores needed to result in a 2:2:2:2 or 2:4:2 sequence. From the crossover

homologs‚ or a homologous pair. 3. Write out a general life cycle with arrows linking these terms: haploid (h)‚ diploid (2n)‚ meiosis‚ fertilization. Are the products of meiosis haploid or diploid? 4. Define sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. How do they differ in comparing genetic traits between parent and offspring? At what points are mitosis and meiosis involved? Asexual Reproduction - The generation of offspring from a single parent that occurs without the fusion of gametes

Meiosis is the type of nuclear division that occurs to form four genetically different gametes. This produces genetically different offspring which all differ in traits‚ the reason this occurs is because of the way that the chromosomes are handled to make gametes. The general gist of meiosis is that a homologous pair is split twice to make four separate cells that have the haploid number of chromosomes meaning when they fuse with other gametes they form a zygote with the diploid number of chromosomes

WHAT IS A CELL? It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing‚ and is often called the building block of life. The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. Some organisms are unicellular (made of only one cell) while others are multicellular (made up of several cells). The word cell comes from the Latin cellula‚ meaning‚ a small room. The term was coined by Robert Hooke in a book he published in 1665 when he compared the cork cells he

Chapter 6 Explain what free energy is and how it can be used to predict the energetic outcome of chemical reactions.Free energy is defined as the energy available to do work in any system. The free energy is denoted by the symbol G. G = H – TS* H: the energy contained in a molecule’s chemical bonds‚ called enthalpy.* TS: the energy term related to the degree of disorder in the system. T is the absolute temperature (K)‚ and S is the entropy.We can use the change in free energy to predict whether

Bio-111 Laboratory #8 Mitosis and Meiosis 17 November 2010 Part1-Questions: a) Explain mitosis Mitosis is a process of asexual reproduction in eukaryotic cells. This process is divided into five stages: prophase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase‚ telophase and cytokinesis. A diploid cell duplicates its genetic information. Therefore the two diploid daughter cells will receive an exact copy of the genetic material. Explain meiosis Meiosis is a two round cell division process where a diploid cell divides

Meiosis and Genetic Diversity in Sordaria 979554296 Biology 110 Lab Introduction: In Israel there exists multiple spots in the mountains called Evolution Canyons‚ which are all located between a southern facing slope (SFS) and a northern facing slope (NFS). What’s particularly interesting about these locations is that despite the two slopes being on opposite sides of a small canyon‚ they exhibit extremely contrasting conditions. The SFS receives multiple times the UV radiation from the sun
