1. When does interphase occur?

? When cells mature (if they reached the preferred size and nutritional state).
2. What occurs during interphase? Diploid cell makes proteins and goes through g1, S, g2 phases
3. Uncoiled stringy DNA is called Chromatin.
4. Human cells have 46 pieces of chromatin.
5. Half of your DNA comes from your mother and half from your father.
6. DNA has genes that determine traits of an organism.
7. Different forms of a gene are called allele.
8. List the 2 alleles for fur color in Snurfles & the letter that represents those alleles? Yellow (G) and Green (g).
9. DNA REPLICATION is when DNA copies itself and it occurs during Interphase.
10. Gametes/sex cells are made during meiosis. Examples of gametes are sperm & ovum.
11. Meiosis occurs in 2 divisions; Meiosis I and Meiosis II
12. List the phases for Meiosis I. PROPHASE I, METAPHASE I, ANAPHASE I, TELOPHASE I
13. List the phases for Meiosis II. PROPHASE II, METAPHASE II, ANAPHASE II, TELOPHASE II
14. During prophase I the chromosomes CONDENSES and become VISIBLE.
15. Chromosomes that are the same size and have the same genes are called Homologous chromosomes
16. Each half of a replicated chromosome is called a sister chromatid
17. Sister chromatids of a chromosome are identical chromosomes
18. The nucleus DISSOLVES during prophase.
19. Homologous chromosomes pair up during prophase I to form a TETRAD.
20. During metaphase I the tetrads line up in the equator of the cell.
21. The homologous chromosomes split up and move toward the opposite ends of the cell during ANAPHASE I.
22. 2 independent cells begin to form during TELOPHASE I
23. CYTOKINESIS is the division of the cytoplasm to make two new cells.
24. The 2 new cells that are formed from Meiosis I are HAPLOID because they contain half of the chromosome of
the original cell that started meiosis.
25. At the start of Meiosis I you had 1 DIPLOID cell.
26. Meiosis II must take place because each of our new cells still has too much DNA.
27. Draw the chromosomes in Meiosis I. Label the cells as diploid or haploid.

28. The nucleus DISSOLVES AGAIN during prophase II.
29. In Metaphase II the chromosomes line up single file down the MIDDLE of the cell.
30. In ANAPHASE II the sister chromatids split up.
31. In Telophase II, 4 HAPLOID daughter cells are being formed.
32. They are called GAMETES.
33. Each newly formed cell will form a NUCLEAR ENVELOPE around the chromosomes.
34. The chromosomes UNCOILS to form CHROMATIN.
35. CYTOKINESIS occurs at the same time at Telophase II.
36. At the end of Meiosis II you have made 4 HAPLOID gametes (sex cells).

37- 38. Draw and label the Meiosis Summary.

39. If the gametes are produced by a female they are called eggs or ova.
40. If the gametes are produced by a male they are called sperm.
