Essay
46. Describe the two ways in which meiosis produces new combinations of genes.
ANSWER: Random assortment of maternal and paternal chromosomes during cell division is the first
way that meiosis produces new combinations of genes. In each pair of chromosomes, one
copy was inherited from each parent. Random combinations of parental chromosomes arise
in metaphase I when the maternal and paternal members of each pair line up at random with
respect to all the other pairs. In other words, the arrangement of any chromosomal pair can
be maternal:paternal or paternal:maternal. As a result, cells produced in meiosis I are much
more likely to receive a combination of maternal and paternal chromosomes than they are to
receive a complete set of maternal chromosomes or a complete set of paternal chromosomes.
Crossing over is the second way meiosis generates new combinations of genes. This
process involves the physical exchange of parts between non-sister chromatids. Members of
a chromosome pair carry identical genes but may carry different versions of those genes
(alleles). For example, a chromosome may carry a gene for eye color. One copy of the
chromosome may carry an allele for blue eyes, while the other carries an allele for brown
eyes. The exchange of chromosome parts during crossing over creates new combinations of
alleles inherited from each parent.

47. Compare and contrast the events and results of oogenesis and spermatogenesis.
ANSWER: In males, the production of sperm, known as spermatogenesis, occurs in the testes. Cells
called spermatogonia line the tubules of the testes and divide by mitosis from puberty until
death, producing daughter cells called spermatocytes. Spermatocytes undergo meiosis, and
the four haploid cells that result are called spermatids. Each spermatid develops into a
mature sperm. The tubules within the testes contain many spermatocytes, and large numbers
of sperm are always in production.
In females, the production of gametes is called oogenesis and takes place in the ovaries.
Cells in the ovary known as oogonia begin mitosis early in embryonic development and
finish a few weeks later. During meiosis I, one cell, destined to become the female gamete,
receives about 95% of the cytoplasm and is called a secondary oocyte. The larger cell
becomes the functional gamete (the ovum) and the nonfunctional, smaller cells are known
as a polar bodies. If the secondary oocyte is fertilized, meiosis II is completed quickly and
the haploid nuclei of the ovum and sperm fuse to produce a diploid zygote.

48. Should the cost of treatment for a genetic disorder be an important consideration for insurance companies when
deciding whether or not to cover the treatment? Justify your reasoning.
ANSWER: Answers will vary. One argument may be that insurance companies have to make decisions
based on the best use of their available resources and that it would not be ethical, for
example, to spend $1,000,000 a year for any one patient’s treatment when it might
be possible to help hundreds or thousands of people with that same money.
Alternatively, one could argue that a dollar value cannot be placed on life. The cost of
treatment for a person should not, in any way, come down to money. The purpose of medical
insurance is to take care of people, no matter what the cost. By accepting premium payments
from their clients, insurance companies are agreeing to cover the patient and that it should not
matter how much that treatment costs.

54. List the four macromolecules that make up cells and give a brief description of the structure and function of each.
ANSWER: Carbohydrates include small, water-soluble sugars and large polymers made of sugars. In the
cell, carbohydrates have three important functions: They are structural components of cells;
they act as energy sources for the cell; and, in combination with proteins on the surface, they
give cells a molecular identity.
Lipids are a structurally and functionally diverse class of biological molecules partially
defined by their insolubility in water. Lipids have many functions: They are structural
components of membranes, some serve as energy reserves, while others act as hormones and
vitamins. Lipids are classified into three major groups: fats and oils, phospholipids, and
steroids. The phospholipids play important roles in the structure and function of the cell
membrane.
Proteins are the most functionally diverse class of macromolecules. Proteins are polymers,
made up of one or more chains of subunits, called amino acids. The varied structures of
proteins are reflected in their diversity of functions.
Nucleic acids are polymers made from nucleotide subunits. Nucleotides themselves have
important functions in energy transfer, but nucleic acids are the storehouses of genetic
information in the cell. The information is encoded in the nucleotide sequence.

strands of chromatin are seen throughout the nucleus. As a cell prepares to divide, the

chromatin condenses to form the chromosomes. In humans, there are 23 pairs of
chromosomes (46 chromosomes) in most cells Certain cells, such as sperm and eggs, carry
only one copy of each chromosome and have 23 unpaired chromosomes. Human males have
one pair of chromosomes that are not completely matched. Members of this pair are known
as sex chromosomes. There are two types of human sex chromosomes: X and Y. Males carry
an X chromosome and a Y chromosome, and females carry two X chromosomes. All other
chromosomes are known as autosomes.

ANSWER: Cells in bone marrow continually move through the cell cycle, producing about 2 million red
blood cells each second.

59. Explain the major difference between daughter cells formed by mitosis and those formed by
meiosis. What occurs when two daughter cells formed during meiosis fuse?
ANSWER: In mitosis, each daughter cell receives two copies of each chromosome. Cells with two copies
of each chromosome are diploid (2n) and have 46 chromosomes. In meiosis, members of a
chromosome pair separate from each other, and each daughter cell receives a haploid (n) set
of 23 chromosomes. These haploid cells form gametes (sperm and egg). Fusion of two
haploid gametes in fertilization restores the chromosome number to the diploid number of 46,
providing a full set of genetic information to the fertilized egg.
