1

Choose the incorrect statement about Meiosis I.

Selecione uma das seguintes:

  • Crossing over occurs between homologous pairs during metaphase.

  • Four sister chromatids form a tetrad in prophase.

  • Crossing over occurs at a chiasmata, the joining of a locus on each chromatid.

Questão 9 de 14

1

anaphase of meiosis I usually differ from those that
move to the poles at anaphase II with respect to:

In males, diploid spermatocytes undergo meiosis to produce two secondary spermatocytes. These undergo meiosis to form haploid spermatids, or, sperm. Tens of of these can be produced per day.
In females, 500,000 oocytes are present in a six month old fetus. These begin meiosis I but are suspended in until ovulation. After ovulation, meiosis I and produces two haploid cells, one becomes a oocyte and the other becomes the first polar body. The first polar body is suspended in until fertilisation, upon which it completes meiosis II and makes two . The secondary oocyte undergoes meiosis II to produce the fourth polar body, and the , which are both haploid. than 500 ovum will be produced in the female lifespan.
