Document Summary

Meiosis quiz study guide refers to chromosomes that each have a. Homologous chromosomes: corresponding chromosome from the opposite-sex parent. Diploid: a cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes- two sets . Haploid: a cell that contains only a single set of chromosomes- one set . Meiosis: the process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell. Crossing over: process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis (occurs during prophase 1) Questions: the purpose of meiosis is to create gametes (sex cells) with half the number of chromosomes as body cells; 4 cells are made that are all haploid (n-half); n=number of chromosomes: Interphase: cells undergo a round of dna replication, forming duplicate chromosomes. Prophase i: each chromosomes pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosomes to form a tetrad (+ crossing over occurs)

A. The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis I.

B. The pairing or tight association of homologous chromosomes in meiosis I. Results in the formation of a tetrad.

C. Non-identical copies of the same chromosome. Present in all diploid cells, even before replication. These chromosomes are the same length and contain genes for the same characteristics, but may have different alleles for each gene. D.

The period of the cell cycle that includes G1, S phase, and G2. E. A structure that develops during cytokinesis in plants.

F. Condensed chromosomes.

G. An invagination that develops during cytokinesis in animal cells.

H. When an organism has two copies of every chromosome (2n).

I. Two identical copies of a chromosome. These are only present after DNA replication.

J. The phase of the cell cycle when DNA is replicated.

Determine if the following events occur during Mitosis, Meiosis I, Meiosis II, Mitosis and Meiosis, Mitosis and Meiosis I, or Mitosis and Meiosis II. (Answers may be used once, more than once or not at all. Be as accurate as possible with your answer.)

___ 1. The chromosome number is reduced by half.
