2) Are the products of mitosis: diploids or haploids? 3) Are the products of meiosis: diploids or haploids? 4) What is the haploid number in humans? 5) Where are gametes produced in the female? Where are gametes produced in the male? 6) Take a look on page 141 figure 9.3. This is an example of a diploid cell from a human male. How many homologous pairs are there? How many total chromosomes? After Meiosis, 23 chromosomes- one of each type- will end up in the nucleus of the male gamete (sperm). 7) Take a look at the slide of the male chromosome. Can you see the pairings? Sketch. 8) How many homologous chromosome pairs would female diploid cells have? After meiosis, 23 chromosomes- one from each type- will end up in the nucleus of the female gamete (ova). 9) Take a look at the slide with of the female chromosome. Can you see the pairings? Sketch. What difference do you see between the male and female chromosome? |
