Chapter 12, Problem 30P
Summary Introduction

To determine:

The type of cell division that is represented in the figure and the relationship between the parts of figure.

Introduction:

Meiosis, also known as the reductional division, is the second type of cell division that takes place in eukaryotes. The cell division is marked by a decrease in the chromosome number to half. This type of cell division allows the recombination of the genes on the chromosome to produce a zygote. The two diploid cells undergo division to produce four haploid daughter cells.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The difference between cohesion of centromeres and cohesion of arms.

Introduction:

The chromosomes are condensed structures that are formed during the early phases of cell division from the loose network of chromatin thread and then regain their original structure after being divided into daughter cells.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The mechanism that keeps the chromosomes together during metaphase.

Introduction:

The human consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes, condensed form of chromatids which divide during cell division into daughter cells. The human has 22 autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes determine the sex in an individual based on the type of sex chromosomes that are present in the fusing gametes.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The role of shugoshin and the enzyme it inhibits.

Introduction:

The chromosome from chromatids are formed through the process of supercoiling. The chromatin fibres are condensed into thick structures called the chromosomes. This chromosome in bacteria is circular whereas in eukaryotes it is linear.

Draw and label G1 and G2 stages of interphase and each stage of mitosis (in order) for a cell that has two large and two small chromosomes, 2n=4. For unreplicated chromosome draw a line ( / ) and for replicated chromosome draw an X. Since we are focusing on the DNA, you can skip drawing the nuclear membrane or spindle fibers. For simplicity, do not indicate that the chromosomes are decondensed chromatin during interphase.  Mark and label a place on one of the large chromosomes with the dominant allele of the “A” gene and put the recessive allele “a” on the other homolog. Mark and label a place on one of the small chromosomes with allele “B” and put the recessive allele “b” on the other homolog.
Which of the following statements is TRUE? Group of answer choices a Interphase chromosomes are loosely compacted and do not associate with histones until the cell is preparing to divide. b Interphase chromosomes are loosely compacted, overlapping, and intertwined  with each other within the nucleus. c None of these are TRUE d Radial loops in the condensing chromosome are formed due to interactions between 30 nm fibers and the scaffolding proteins of the nuclear matrix - producing the 300 nm fiber of the chromosome e Interphase chromosomes are also known as euchromatin.  Condensed, metaphase chromosomes are also known as heterochromatin.
A crayfish strain became triploid while kept in a pet store. Pet owners released these crayfish into the wild, and they became an invasive species. These triploid animals have 2 different kinds of chromosomes (chromosome 1 and chromosome 2). To understand what kind of difficulties the crayfish triploid cells might have during the cell cycle you will draw: Cell is triploid with 2 different chromosomes ( 1 and 2) A) cell in G1 (assume chromosomes are condensed as they normally are in metaphase throughout the cell cycle) B) cell in G2 (assume chromosomes are condensed as they normally are in metaphase throughout the cell cycle) C) cell in Metaphase of mitosis D) cell in Metaphase I of the first meiotic division E) cell in Metaphase II of the second meiotic division
