Meiosis Lab Go to: http://www.biology.arizona.edu/cell_bio/tutorials/meiosis/main.html Click through this lab in order and answer the following questions: After each put the type of reproduction that agrees with the statement (Asexual or Sexual). Offspring are ALL identical _____________________ Uses only mitosis _____________________ Gametes for fertilization come from separate parents _____________________ Increases diversity in offspring ____________________ Example of plant reproduction ____________________ Combination of two haploid sex cells (eggs & sperm) _____________________ You can skip the Karyotype pictorials, just answer the following: Ploidy: After each put Haploid (n) or Diploid (2n) Eggs _______________ Plants _______________ Human cells other than egg & sperm _______________ One set chromosomes _________________ Two sets chromosomes _________________ Sperm _____________________ For a cell with 2n chromosomes to become a cell with n chromosomes for sexual reproduction the cell must go through Meiosis I and Meiosis II (Similar to Mitosis stages, but a little different). What is Meiosis I? In Meiosis I, chromosomes of a _______________ cell re-segregate, producing ________ haploid cells. Meiosis I generates genetic ________________. Prophase I is similar to Prophase in Mitosis. Metaphase I two chromosomes of same number line up side by _______ instead of one line at the middle (mitosis). This means there is a _____________ chance for the daughter cells to get either the grandmother or grandfathers chromosome. Anaphase I Entire _____________________ each with two chromatids, move to separate poles. Each of the daughter cells is now _______________ but each has two chromatids (Mitosis had one). Telophase I Nuclear envelope forms of two cells that are haploid but two chromatids and move quickly to Meiosis II. Meiosis II is similar to _______________. However there is no _____ phase. Meiosis II separates the chromatids producing two daughter cells for each cell from Meiosis I. These cells have _______ chromosomes and now has only one chromatid..
