Question

cell division in which bacterial cells reproduce = b____ e____

1. the phase that is skipped or shortened in meiosis is i________________
2. genetic recombination in meiosis results in daughter cells that are

d____________ from each other and from the parent cell.

1. h____________ chromosomes are the same size, shape, carry genes for

the same traits, and pair up during synapsis.

1. 2n cells are also called d_________ cells.
2. body cells can also be called s_________ cells.
3. c_______ o, s__________, and

i__________ a_________ all result recombination
of dna.

1. polar bodies use a__________ to self destruct so most of the cytoplasm

can go to one \good egg\.

Explanation:

1. Interphase (specifically G1 and G2) is shortened/skipped between meiosis I and II.
2. Genetic recombination creates unique daughter cells.
3. Homologous chromosomes match in size/shape and carry similar genes.
4. 2n (two sets of chromosomes) defines diploid cells.
5. Somatic cells are non-reproductive body cells.
6. Crossing over, synapsis (with recombination), and independent assortment shuffle DNA.
7. Apoptosis is programmed cell death for polar bodies.

Answer:

1. Interphase
2. Different
3. Homologous
4. Diploid
5. Somatic
6. Crossing Over, Synapsis, Independent Assortment
7. Apoptosis
