Answer:
the sister chromatids remain attatched to one another
Question 5: Which of the following statements about genes is incorrect?
Answer:
- gene only is used in a specific cell type
Question 6: Independent assortment of chromosomes occurs in
Answer:
meiosis I only
Question 7: Homologous chromosomes synapse and crossing over occurs in
Answer:
meiosis I only Question 8: Eukaryotic sexual life cycles show tremendous variation. Of the following elements, which do all sexual life cycles have in common?
Answer:
(2, 3, & 4)meiosis, fertilization, and gametes
Question 9: Which steps take place in both mitosis and meiosis?
Answer:
separatation of sister chromatids (3) Question 10: How does the sexual life cycle increase the genetic variation in a species?
Answer:
by allowing independent assortment of chromosomes Question 11: If the cells were from a plant, which sample might represent a gametophyte cell?
Answer:
III (least DNA content) Question 12: After telophase I of meiosis, the chromosomal makeup of each daughter cell is
Answer:
haploid and the chromsomes are each composed of 2 chromatids
Question 13: If a horticulturist breeding gardenias succeeds in having a single plant with a particularly desirable set of traits, which would be her most probable and efficient route to establishing a line of such plants?
Answer:
clone the plant asexually to produce an identical one
Question 14: Synapsis of homologous pairs occurs; crossing over may occur
Answer:
prophase Question 15: A given organism has 46 chromosomes in its karyotype. We can therefor
conclude that:
Answer:
its gametes must have 23 chromosomes
Question 16: Which life cycle stage is found in plants but not animals?
Answer:
multicellular haploid Question 17: Centromeres of sister chromatids disjoin and chromatids separate in:
Answer:
anaphaseII
Question 18: What is a karyotype?
Answer:
A display of every pair of homologous chromosomes within a cell, organized according to size and shape Question 19: Tetrads of chromosomes are aligned at the equator of the spindle; alignment determines independent assortment
Answer:
metaphase I

Answer:
every human cell

Answer:
cohesions are protected from cleavage at the centromere during meiosis I
Question 22: Which life cycle is for fungi and some protists?
Answer:

Answer:
mutation
Question 24: When does synaptonemal complex disappear?
Answer:
Late prophase of meiosis I Question 25: You have a microscope slide with meiotic cells and a light microscope. What would you look for if you wanted to identify metaphase I on the slide?
Answer:
tetrads lined up at the center of the cell Question 26: Whether during mitosis or meiosis, sister chromatids are held together by proteins referred to as cohesions. Such molecules must have which of the following properties?
Answer:
They must be removed before anaphase can occur Question 27: A cell divides to produce 2 daughter cells that are genetically different in
Answer:
meiosis I only
