ection 11-4 Meiosis (pages 275-278)Key Concepts

• What happehs during the process of meiosis?

• How is meiosis different from mitosis?

Introduction (page 275)1. List the two things that Mendel's principles of genetics required in order to be true.

a. _

Chromosome Number (page 275)

2. What does it mean when two sets of chromosomes are homologous? _

3. Circle the letter of each way to describe a diploid cell.

a.2N

b. Contains two sets of homologous chromosomes

c. Contains a single set of homologous chromosomesd. Agamete

4. Circle the letter of the number of chromosomes in a haploid Drosophila cell.~ 8 b.4 c 2d. 0

Phases of Meiosis (pages 275-277)

5. Draw the chromosomes in the diagrams below to show the correct phase of meiosis.

9. Is the following sentence true or false? The diploid cell that enters meiosis becomes4 haploid cells at the end of meiosis. _

10. How does a tetrad form in prophase I of meiosis.? _

13. Circle the letter of each sentence that is true about meiosis.

a. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate.

b. The two daughter cells produced by meiosis I still have the two complete sets ofchromosomes, as does a diploid cell.

c. During anaphase II, the paired chromatids separate.

d. After meiosis II, the four daughter cells contain the diploid number of chromosomes.

Gamete Formation (page 278)

Match the products of meiosis with the descriptions.Product of Meiosis Description

___ 14. eggs a. Haploid gametes produced in males___ 15. sperm b. Haploid gametes produced in females

16. polar bodies c. Cells produced in females that do notparticipate in reproduction

Comparing Mitosis and Meiosis (page 278)

17. Circle the letter of each sentence that is true about mitosis and meiosis.

a. Mitosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.

b. Meiosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells.

c. Mitosis begins with a diploid cell.

d. Meiosis begins with a diploid cell.

Reading Skill PracticeYou can often increase your understanding of what you've read by makingcomparisons. A compare-and-contrast table helps you to do this. On a separate sheetof paper, make a table to compare the processes of mitosis and meiosis. For moreinformation about compare-and-contrast tables, see Organizing Information inAppendixA.

Section 11-5 Linkage and Gene Maps(pages 279-280)~ Key Concept

• What structures actually assort independently?

Gene Linkage (page 279)

1. Is the following sentence true or false? Thomas Hunt Morgan discovered that somegenes violated the principle of independent assortment. _

2. Morgan grouped the Drosophila genes that were inherited together into four________ groups.

3. List the two conclusions that Morgan made about genes and chromosomes.a. _

Gene Maps (pages 279-280)5. Explain why two genes found on the same chromosome are not always linked forever.

7. Is the following sentence true or false? Genes that are closer together are more likely tobe separated by a crossover event in meiosis. _

8. What is a gene map?
