Question:-
Describe or demonstrate the mechanism of sex determination in humans, grasshoppers, moths,, fruit flies and bees.
Question - Predict the types of gametes that are formed if non-disjunction of the X chromosomeoccurs in the 1st division.
Click on all the different possible gamete types of sperm that could be formed (in terms of the X and Y chromosome, assume that the gamete is normal, having one of all the other chromosome types).
X (normal)
Y (normal)
no X or Y (abnormal)
XY (abnormal)
YY (abnormal)
XX (abnormal)
Still studying meiosis. How many chromosomes does a haploid cell have? In prophase II how many chromosomes does each daughter cell have?

If a certain species has a DNA content of 12 picograms in each diploid cell's nucleus when the cell in in G1 of the cell cycle, what would be the expected DNA content (in picograms) of a triploid cell (from the same species) in mitotic prophase?

Whatis it about the process of meiosis that accounts for this difference, eventhough meiosis also includes two cell divisions?arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardselect ALL that are TRUE about sperm:☑️Meiosis is suspended twice in sperm development; meiosis of sperm is completed when the sperm penetrates an egg ☑️Both the activity of sperm flagella, and the contraction of uterine muscles, are required to propel sperm to the egg in a timely fashion ☑️Each of the four sperm formed by one meiotic event is genetically unique and haploid ☑️ Sperm secrete testosterone which stimulates sustentacular cells to help their development\arrow_forwardActivity 8: Sequencing Meiotic StagesLabel the stage of meiosis in each box below each diagram. Then, cut out each figure and arrange the cells so they reflect the proper order of stages of meiosis -starting with a cell in interphase and ending with the completion of meiosis.
