Study Notes
Meiosis II
- The final stage of meiosis II is telophase II, where the chromosomes reach opposite poles and the cytoplasm divides, resulting in four haploid daughter cells.
Significance of Meiosis
- Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction, producing gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This ensures that when fertilization occurs, the offspring receives a complete set of chromosomes.
Stages of the Cell Cycle
- The stages of the cell cycle are: G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase, M phase, and cytokinesis. The question does not provide a list of options to determine which is NOT a stage.
Purpose of S Phase
- The S phase (synthesis phase) is dedicated to DNA replication. During this stage, the cell copies its entire genome to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material.
Result of Meiosis
- Meiosis results in the production of four haploid daughter cells. Each daughter cell contains half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, ensuring genetic diversity in offspring.
Meiosis Statements
- The question does not provide a list of statements about meiosis to identify the one which is NOT true.
Purpose of G1 Phase
- The G1 phase (first gap phase) serves as a growth and preparation period for the cell. The cell grows in size and synthesizes the necessary proteins and organelles for DNA replication.
Meiosis Daughter Cells
- The four haploid daughter cells produced at the end of meiosis are called gametes.
Characteristics of G2 Phase
- The G2 phase (second gap phase) is characterized by continued cell growth and the synthesis of proteins required for mitosis. The cell checks the duplicated chromosomes for errors to ensure proper cell division.
Significance of Genetic Variability
- Genetic variability within a population is crucial for adaptation and survival. It allows populations to respond to environmental changes and challenges, increasing the chances of long-term survival.
