Explain why the products of meiosis may not be genetically identical, whereas the products of mitosis are.
What is a sister chromatid? Are sister chromatids genetically similar or identical? Explain.
Describe the cellular differences between male and female gametes.
The arctic fox has 50 chromosomes (25 per set), and the common red fox has 38 chromosomes ( 19 per set). These species can interbreed to produce viable but infertile offspring. How many chromosomes would the offspring have? What problems do you think may occur during meiosis that would explain the offspring's infertility?
A cell has four pairs of chromosomes. Assuming that crossing over does not occur, what is the probability that a gamete will contain all of the paternal chromosomes? If \(n\) equals the number of chromosomes in a set, which of the following expressions can be used to calculate the probability that a gamete will receive all of the paternal chromosomes: \((1 / 2)^{n},(1 / 2)^{n-1}\), or \(n^{1 / 2}\) ?
