- What is the name of the structure that holds homologous chromosomes together after they have paired during zygotene?arrow_forwardMost eukaryotic organisms reproduce sexually, but a few eukaryotic organisms, like Bdelloid rotifers, reproduce asexually. Which of the following describes the difference between the formation of cells in sexually reproducing eukaryotes and asexually reproducing rotifers? A - Sexually reproducing eukaryotes proceed through one stage of meiosis to produce haploid cells, while Bdelloid rotifers proceed through two divisions to produce diploid cells. B= Sexually reproducing eukaryotes proceed through two stages of meiosis to produce haploid cells, while Bdelloid rotifers only need to proceed through one division to produce diploid cells. C- DNA is replicated and divided once in the production of haploid cells in Bdelloid rotifers, while DNA is replicated and divided twice in the production of diploid cells in sexually reproducing eukaryotes. D- DNA is replicated and divided twice in the production of diploid cells in Bdelloid rotifers, while DNA is replicated and divided once in the…arrow_forwardWhat is a tetragametic chimera and how does it occur?arrow_forward
- What is haploid (n) ?arrow_forwardMost eukaryotic organisms use sexual reproduction as their primary means of perpetuating their species. Gametes are formed via meiosis. However, some species primarily reproduce via asexual means. Reproduction is accomplished via mitosis. Aspen trees most commonly reproduce by such asexual methods of cloning.What are the advantages and disadvantages of reproduction by asexual means? Why do some species reproduce in this manner? Why don't all species?arrow_forwardWhy do you (and most other species) have two copies of each chromosome? Are these two copies of chromosomes called sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes? What’s the difference between sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes?arrow_forward
- One reason that worker bees forgo their own reproduction to help their sister (the queen) reproduce is that female bees are more closely related to their sisters than they are to their own offspring. This quirk of genetics results from the fact that bees have haplodiploid sex determination, in which females are diploid, with a mother and a father, but males are haploid, developing from unfertilized eggs. Because males are haploid, they produce sperm by mitosis. Explainwhy haplodiploid sex determination causes females to be more closely related to their sisters than to their offspring.arrow_forwardAre human gametes haploid or diploid? Are human somatic cells haploid or diploid? Are fertilized eggs haploid or diploid?arrow_forwardIn prophase II of meiosis, each daughter cell is _____. A) diploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of a single chromatid B) diploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two chromatids C) haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of a single chromatid D) haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two chromatidsarrow_forward
- What is Heteroplasmy?arrow_forwardA cell undergoing division has a haploid chromosome number of 8. Give the numerical value for each of the following: number of chromatids in a cell in prophase of mitosis number of chromosomes in a cell in metaphase of mitosis number of homologous pairs in a cell in anaphase of meiosis I number of centromeres in a cell in anaphase of meiosis I number of chromatids in a cell in metaphase of meiosis II number of centromeres in a cell in prophase of meiosis IIarrow_forwardA) Give the diploid number of this organism. B) Is it mitosis or meiosis? Give two (2) elements on which you base your reasoning. C) Identify this mystery phase of the cell cycle. D) How many daughter cells will be produced at the end of the process and how many chromosomes (in numbers) will they contain? E) How does this process ensure the genetic variability of individuals of the species? Your answer must be based on two (2) different elements.arrow_forward
