to each other in meiosis?
4
How many daughter cells are produced from
meiosis?
Egg cell

Homologous chromosomes
___________ are the paired chromosomes that have genes for the same traits arranged in
the same order.
Fertilization
_________ is the process of joining gametes.

chromosomes.
NO!A dog has 78 chromosomes and is less complex than humans
Is the number of chromosomes related to the complexity of an
organism? WHY?
Meiosis

The daughter cells produced at the end of MITOSIS are
considered- haploid or diploid?
46
What is the diploid number in humans?
Somatic cells
__________ are all cells other than egg or sperm cells.
23
How many chromosomes do you have in your egg
or sperm cells?
Genetically the SAME!
What is the genetic relationship of daughter cells
to each other in MITOSIS?
zygote
________ is the cell that is created when a sperm
fertilizes an egg.
XX
What are the female sex chromosomes?
Genetically DIFFERENT!
What is the genetic relationship of daughter cells
to parent cell in meiosis?
Haploid
_________ is a cell with only ONE set of chromosomes.
1. creates haploid gametes2. provides genetic variation
Why is meiosis significant? (2 reasons)
23Homologous Chromosomes
How many chromosomes do you get from your
mom?
Prophase I
During what stage of meiosis does crossing
over occur?
2
How many cell divisions occur in meiosis?
Crossing over
__________ occurs when nonsister chromatids of
homologous chromosome exchange genetic information.
Genetically the SAME!
What is the genetic relationship of daughter cells
to parent cell in MITOSIS?
46
At the end of meiosis I, how many (human) chromosomes
does each daughter cell have?
1. Crossing over – random swapping of DNA
2. Independent assortment of the homologous chromosomes – it is random to which side of the cell the chromosomes move to
