Can you think of anything that would prevent mitosis from occurring in a new cell whose genome is haploid?
Meiosis is also known as reduction cell division because it reduces the ploidy level from diploid (2n) to haploid (n). Why do we need to reduce our ploidy level in certain cells?
Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells that are identical to the starting cell. Explain how meíosis is different using
this diagram to help you.
1) How many cells are created through meiosis?
2) Describe the chromosomes in each gamete at the end of meiosis? Are the set of chromosomes in a gamete
identical to the starting cell like they are in mitosis? Are there the same number of chromosomes in each
gamete as the starting cell?
Starting cell's chromosomes:
1А, 1B, 2A, 2B
Interphase
After the S phase of interphase:
4 pairs of sister chromatids
1A 1A 1B 1B
2A 2A 2B 2B
Meiosis has 2 rounds of cell division

- What is the purpose of meiosis? In other words, why create haploid cells?arrow_forwardAn important function of meiosis is to reduce the chromosome number to exactly half.How is this done? What makes such a process necessary?arrow_forwardWhat is meant by incomplete linkage? What does this have to do with pairing of chromosomes during meiosis?arrow_forward
- If an organism has a total diploid chromosome number of 18, how many chromosomes will be in a single gamete? 54 9. 18 36arrow_forwardIf you have 16 chromatids inside the cell before meiosis, how many chromosomes will be present in each daughter cell after meiosis?arrow_forwardIf an organism has 15 pairs of homologous chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after telophase of mitosis? In this same organism, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after telophase II of meiosis?arrow_forward
- Why do you think that organisms do not use the first steps of meiosis (up to and including meiotic cell division I) for the ordinary mitotic division of somatic cells?arrow_forwardA diploid organism produces four gametes from one parent cell through the process of meiosis. Two gametes are found to have 7 chromosomes and two gametes are found to have 5 chromosomes. A) Is this the expected number of chromosomes that would be found in each gamete following a normal cycle of meiosis? If yes, explain why. If no, explain why not and describe how the gamete situation described above occurred. B) Determine the number of homologous chromosome pairs that the original parent cell contained, before meiosis began. Explain how you determined this value.arrow_forwardAn individual is heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation, with the following chromosomes: A • B C D E F A • B C V W X R ST • U D E F R ST • U V W X Q. Draw a picture of these chromosomes pairing in prophase I of meiosis.arrow_forward
