Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason why synapsis and crossing over cannot occur in prophase II.

Introduction: Meiosis is a process that involves two cell divisions—meiosis I and meiosis II, resulting in four daughter cells that are haploid. At prophase I, the homologous chromosomes pair with each other, and the process is known as synapsis. At the end of meiosis I, the two homologs separate into two daughter cells. The sister chromatids separate to form four haploid daughter cells in meiosis II.

(1) In people, the X chromosome is bigger than the Y chromosome. Does that mean females have more DNA than males? Explain. (2) What would happen if the SRY gene was moved to chromsome 2, adjacent to the LCT gene? Would SRY still be able to carry out is function? Why or why not? If no, what would be the consequences? Be specific.
Protein complex present at centromeres in mitotic cells structure formed when DNA wraps around an octameric histone core Protein complex that is degraded at anaphase to allow sister chromatids to separate at mitosis microtubule based structure used to segregate chromosomes in mitosis and meiosis 1. cohesin complex 2. kinetochore 3. monopolin 4. nucleosome 5. synaptonemal complex 6. telomere 7. sister chromatid 8. spindle
Describe in detail how the anaphase promoting complex processes result initiate anaphase, including the activities of proteins important in chromosome-kinetochore stability and sister chromatid separation e.g. securin, separase, mitotic Cdk-cyclin proteins, cohesins, Mad and Bub proteins.
