diagram of meiosis of a diploid cell where n = 3, showing all stages. Lable one example of sister chromatids and one example of a pair of homologous chromosomes.
Consider a cell in which nondisjunction occurs for all chromosomes during meiosis I. What would be the result of this event?
Multiple Choice
two diploid gametes
two haploid gametes and one aneuploid gamete with an extra set of chromosomes
four aneuploid gametes
four haploid gametes
The process of meiosis occurs during the
cell cycle
production
and results in
four unique diploid
four identical diploid cells
four unique haploid cells
four identical haploid cells
. To maintain the correct number of chromosomes in offspring, male and female gametes contain
the same number
half of the number
twice the number
of chromosomes as somatic cells. During fertilization, gametes fuse to form a
diploid
haplid
cell called a zygote.

- Meiosis The process of meiosis Meiosis is a special type of cell division necessary for the production of sex cells (gametes) for the purpose of sexual reproduction. 2N cell (diploid). N is the haploid number of chromosomes. Each chromosome is replicated. DNA replication precedes meiosis. If genetic mistakes (mutations) occur here, they will be passed on (inherited by the offspring). Crossing over has occurred. Meiosis involves a single chromosomal duplication followed by two successive nuclear divisions, and it halves the diploid chromosome number. Homologous chromosomes pair up. The pairs are separated. An overview of meiosis is shown on the right. Meiosis occurs in the sex organs of plants and animals. An intermediate cell forms with a replicated copy of each chromosome. Meiosis produces variation During meiosis, a process called crossing over may occur when homologous chromosomes may exchange genes. This further adds to the variation in the gametes. Chromatid The chromosomes line…arrow_forwardProphase I of meiosis is different from prophase in mitosis because The homologous chromosomes pair up and crossing over occurs in meiosis not mitosis. The nuclear envelopes do not disappear in meiosis as it does in mitosis. DNA replication occurs and the chromosomes condense in meiosis, but not in mitosis. OHomologous chromosomes are pulled apart in mitosis, but not in meiosis.arrow_forwardAfter telophase II of meiosis, the chromosomal makeup of each daughter cell is: Practia diploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of a single chromatid. O diploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two chromatids. O haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of a single chromatid. O haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two chromatids.arrow_forward
