Chapter 13, Problem 2IQ
Summary Introduction
To label: The type of cells that are involved in divisions, events, or cells that indicate the sexual life cycle of the different organisms.
Introduction: Cell division is a biological process during which a single cell divides to form two or more daughter cells. There are two types of cell divisions, namely mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is an equational division; hence, it can occur in both diploid and haploid cells, whereas meiosis is reduction division occurring exclusively in diploid cells and forms haploid gametes.

Mitosis and meiosis are both important processes of cell division in the life cycle of a sexual organism.Discuss why both processes are necessary?
Identify the stages of meiosis described by the following meiotic events/conditions/terms. Write prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, or telophase II. In case the events are found in both stages, write the stages both.
1. Separation of homologous chromosome
2. Four haploid daughter cells are formed.
Describe what sexual dimorphism is and why its existence is puzzling.

In human beings and Drosophila (fruitfly), the sex of an individual is determined by the kind of sex chromosomes they possess. Males have two types of chromosomes, a big chromosome X and a small chromosome Y while females have only one kind, 2X or XX. The X and Y chromosomes segregate during the formation of mature spermatozoa (sprematogenesis) so that a mature sperm contains only either X or Y. What is the probability of getting an X-bearing sperm? A Y-bearing sperm? How many kinds of ova as to the kind of sex chromosome present can be produced? Determine the probability of getting a boy or girl. Show your calculations.arrow_forward

Formation of chiasma 2. Each chromatid is considered as full-fledged chromosome. 3. Chromosomes begin to pair off. 4. Spindle microtubules start to attach to the centromere. 5. Tetrads are aligned at the middle of the cell. 6. The sister chromatids separate. 7. Produce 2 haploid daughter cells. 8. The chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell. 9. The sister chromatids move together to the opposite poles. 10. The chromatids reach the poles. 11. The chromosomes in each daughter cell are still duplicated.12.
