When the Ascomycetes fungus reproduces sexually, mating type A fungi cross fertilize mating type a fungi. The resulting zygotes undergo meiotic and then mitotic division to produce asci with eight ascospores. The ascospores in the asci are ordered and reflect the position of the parental nuclei in the zygote. Use the passage to answer the question. Based on the diagram, how many unique ascospores are produced in each ascus resulting from the cross fertilization of two Ascomycetes fungi? A. 1 B. 2 C. 4 D. 8

Picture name - Tradescantia spathacea meiotic cell. HPO (400x)Shown below are photomicrographs of Rhoeo tradescantia cells undergoing meiosis. Answer the following question for each of the photomicrographs: Identify the cytogenetic abnormality observed (ex. ring, chain, laggard, bridge). Identify the meiotic stage in which these aberrations are observed (as shown in the photomicrograph). Explain how these aberrations are formed and relate to the possible causal mutation(s). Will this result to sterile and/or fertile gametes? Explain.

Meiosis DrawingIn this assignment you will track and draw the chromosomes of a diploid organism through all the stages of meiosis. Make sure you label the alleles for genes on the chromosomes the whole way through - every chromatid should have labeled alleles. For meiosis, both crossing over and independent assortment can occur. For the purpose of this exercise, assume that there is a single crossover event on the long chromosome between the A and D genes. Only show crossing over after its fully occured. There are no crossover events on the short chromosome. Regarding independent assortment, there are two possible outcomes in meiosis if there are two homologous pairs of chromsomes. Include both independent assortment possibilities - one on the left side and one on the right. Fill in the possible gamete genotypes for each outcome. If you do this correctly you should end up with 8 different types of gametes. Image attached for genotypes and alleles. Give me a full explaination of each of…

Contrast the genetic content and the origin of sister versus nonsisterchromatids during their earliest appearance in prophase Iof meiosis. How might the genetic content of these change by thetime tetrads have aligned at the equatorial plate during metaphaseI?
During zygotene stage of meiosis I, a remarkable pairing of chromosomes occurs. Look at the bottom part of As shown in which “mitosis: growth of the body” has produced cells with four different types of chromosomes. The black ones came from the sperm nucleus. The red ones came from the egg nucleus. If one of these nuclei were to undergo meiosis, which chromosomeswould pair during zygotene (which are homologous)— the long black one with the short black one or the long black one with the long red one?
Mitosis reduces the chromosome number fro diploid to haploid for the production of gametes. True False 2. During prophase I of meiosis, homologous pairs line up in a process called ______. cytokinesis anaphase synapsis non disjunction 3. During meiosis, sister chromatids separate during Anaphase I Anaphase II telophase I metaphase I 4. Gametes produced during meiosis are genetically identical. True False 5. Failure of either homologous pairs or sister chromatids to separate during meioisis is called _____. crossover translocation dislocation non disjunction
In the moss Polytrichum commune, the haploidchromosome number is 7. A haploid male gametefuses with a haploid female gamete to form a diploid cell that divides and develops into the multicellular sporophyte. Cells of the sporophyte thenundergo meiosis to produce haploid cells calledspores. What is the probability that an individualspore will contain a set of chromosomes all ofwhich came from the male gamete?
Meiotic nondisjunction usually occurs during meiosis I. What isnot separating properly: bivalents or sister chromatids? What is notseparating properly during mitotic nondisjunction?
Meiosis stage descriptions 7. homologous pairs line up as tetrads along the middle of the cell 8. one of each homologous pair reaches the ends of the cell, the cell begins pinching in, and two new nuclear membranes form 9. DNA condenses in two haploid cells, the nuclear membranes disintegrate 10. sister chromatids split apart and daughter chromosomes move towards the ends of two cells 11. DNA replication has occured, DNA decondensed in one cell 12. four cells with half of the genetic material of a body cell result, all are different from each other Match the picture or the image with the name of the stage it represents. Use each stage just once for either an image or description.
