Chromosomes and Meiosis Chapter 6 Sections 1, 2, and 6
You have body cells and gametes.
Do gametes come from germ cells or somatic cells?
__________________________________________________________
Your cells have autosomes and sex chromosomes.
If a person’s pair of sex chromosomes is XY, is the person male or female?
__________________________________________________________
Body cells are diploid; gametes are haploid.
What is the difference between the cells that result from mitosis and the cells that
result from meiosis?
___________________________________________________________
Vocabulary Check
1. When the nucleus of an egg joins the nucleus of a sperm _____________________
2. A body cell ___________________________
3. An egg or sperm cell ________________________________
4. Any chromosome except a sex chromosome _____________________________
The Big Picture
5. If a diploid cell with 8 chromosomes goes through meiosis, how many chromosomes will the resulting
haploid cells have and how many cells will there be?
6. Circle the sex of a person with the sex chromosomes XX:
male / female
Process of Meiosis
Cells go through two rounds of division in meiosis.
Homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids – DRAW AND LABEL:
Haploid cells develop into mature gametes.
How do mature gametes differ from the immature haploid cells?
