Shown below is a diploid cell with two chromosomes that have been replicated and are about to complete metaphase and anaphase of Melosis. 1. On the left drawing below, Identify homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids (hint check out the shapes and colorsi). Which one lines up on the metophose plote during melosis I? 2. Note that the left drawing shows these lined up along the metaphase plate. Draw the resulting gametes from the process of meiosis in the left cell (note that melosis and Il are indicated). 3. In the right half below, draw the possible combinations of gametes resulting from the different independent ossortment of the two chromosomes ( 2 n = 4 ) . What is independent assoriment? When cells divide during meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, and different chromosomes segregate independently of each other (that is they can line up on the metaphase plate independent of each other). This called is called independent assortment. This process increases genetic diversity in the products (the hapleid gametes) of meiosis. a. Do you best to Illustrate how the metaphase plate will look when you consider independent assortment. b. Then draw the resulting gametes- are they the same or different from the gametes in the left drawing? 4. Now consider this! The number of possible gametes is calculated by 2 ? . Humans have 46 chromosomes ( 2 n = 46 ) . How many unique gametes are possible?.
