PART II: Meiosis

How is the chromosome number changed in meiosis?

Where (in the human body) would meiotic cell division occur?

What does the term “gonad” mean? What are the female gonads? What are the male gonads?

How many daughter cells are produced by meiosis?

Are those daughter cells identical or unique compared to the parent cell?

What does “diploid number” of chromosomes mean?

What does “haploid number” of chromosomes mean?

After mitosis, would the daughter cells be haploid or diploid?

After meiosis, would the daughter cells be haploid or diploid?

What is a gamete?

Does fusion of the haploid gametes produce a diploid or haploid cell?

What is a fertilized egg called?

When during the human life cycle is the diploid number of chromosomes restored?

List the activities of the four phases of nuclear division during meiosis I?

List the activities of the four phases of nuclear division during meiosis II?

1. How is the chromosome number changed in meiosis?

Chromosome number is reduced to half in meiosis. A diploid cell is changed to 4 haploid cell in meiotic division.

2. Where (in the human body) would meiotic cell division occur?

Meiotic division occur in germantive cell or the reproductive cell(gametes) in human body.

3.What does the term “gonad” mean? What are the female gonads? What are the male gonads?

Gonad are the reproductive organs which produces gametes in human body. Female gonads are ovaries and male gonads are testes.

4. How many daughter cells are produced by meiosis?

4 daughter cells are produced by meiotic division.
