Are New Microtubules Made When the Spindle Forms?
During interphase, before the beginning of meiosis, a relatively few long microtubules extend from the centrosome (a zone around the centrioles of animal cells where microtubules are organized) to the cell periphery. Like most microtubules, these are refreshed at a low rate with resynthesis. Late in prophase, however, a dramatic change is seen-the centrosome divides into two, and a large increase is seen in the number of microtubules radiating from each of the two daughter centrosomes. The two clusters of new microtubules are easily seen as the green fibers connecting to the two sets of purple daughter chromosomes in the micrograph of early prophase below (a micrograph is a photo taken through a microscope). This burst of microtubule assembly marks the beginning of the formation of the spindle characteristic of metaphase. When it first became known to cell biologists, they asked whether these were existing microtubules being repositioned in the spindle, or newly synthesized microtubules only produced just before metaphase begins.
The graph to the upper right displays the results of an experiment designed to answer this question. Mammalian cells in culture (cells in culture are growing in the laboratory on artificial medium) were injected with microtubule subunits (tubulin) to which a fluorescent dye had been attached (a fluorescent dye is one that glows when exposed to ultraviolet or shortwavelength visual light). After the fluorescent subunits had become incorporated into the cells' microtubules, all the fluorescence in a small region of a cell was bleached by an intense laser beam, destroying the microtubules there. Any subsequent rebuilding of microtubules in the bleached region would have to employ the fluorescent subunits present in the cell, causing recovery of fluorescence in the bleached region. The graph reports this recovery as a function of time, for interphase and metaphase cells. The dotted line represents the time for 50% recovery of fluorescence (t 1/2 ) (that is, t 1/2 is the time required for half of the microtubules in the region to be resynthesized).

In which stage of meiosis does crossing over occur?

A) prophase I
C) metaphase II
B) anaphase I
D) interphase
In anaphase I one homologue with its two sister chromatids still attached moves to a pole of the cell. The other homologue moves to the opposite poles. The synthesis of DNA takes place during interphase.
In metaphase II spindle fibres bind to both the sides of the centromeres and the chromosomes gets lined up along a central plane. There is no replication of the chromosome homologues between the two nuclear divisions.
Hence the incorrect options are b, c and d.
During the process of synapsis the homologous chromosomes become closely associated along their lengths. This process of formation of complexes of homologous chromosomes is known as synapsis. The process of synapsis takes place during the prophase I of meiosis.

Mitosis results in ____, while meiosis results in _____.
A) cells genetically identical to the parent cell/haploid cells
B) haploid cells/diploid cells
C) four daughter cells/two daughter cells
D) cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell/cells that vary in chromosome number
Meiosis differs from mitosis in possessing both reduction division and

A) centromere replication.
B) synapsis.
C) sister chromatids.
D) daughter cells.
In this question, we discuss the differences between mitosis and meiosis.
Meiosis occurs in two phases, both involving nuclear division. Each phase is reminiscent of mitosis in that they have a prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. DNA replication occurs in interphase (just before meiosis I), and then the process begins.
Meiosis II is almost exactly like mitosis; this phase involves the separation of sister chromatids through prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II. The major difference between meiosis II and mitosis is that DNA replication does not occur - it already did before meiosis I. Homologous pairs separated during meiosis I such that each daughter cell has only one-half the number of chromosomes. Also, as a result of crossing over during prophase I, the chromosomes in the daughter cells at the end of meiosis II are not genetically identical.
a) Option A is correct - the purpose of the two processes is different, thus the different outcomes.
Option B is incorrect - mitotic division results in diploid cells.
Option C is incorrect - mitotic division results in two cells, not four.
Option D is incorrect - mitotic division results in cells with the same number of chromosomes as their parents. Improper replication results in cells with varying number of chromosomes.
b) Option B is correct - the process of synapsis is much closer in meiosis, allowing crossing over.
Option A is incorrect - centromere usage is not different in mitosis or meiosis.
Option C is incorrect - both processes have sister chromatids, they just separate at different points.
Option D is incorrect - both produce daughter cells, just different numbers.

Synapsis is the process whereby
A) homologous pairs of chromosomes separate and migrate toward a pole.
B) homologous chromosomes exchange chromosomal material.
C) homologous chromosomes become closely associated along their lengths.
D) the daughter cells contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Crossing over is the process whereby

A) homologous chromosomes cross over to opposite sides of the cell.
B) homologous chromosomes exchange chromosomal material.
C) homologous chromosomes become closely associated along their lengths.
D) kinetochore fibers attach to both sides of a centromere.
In this question, we discuss the differences between mitosis and meiosis.
Meiosis occurs in two phases, both involving nuclear division. Each phase is reminiscent of mitosis in that they have a prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. DNA replication occurs in interphase (just before meiosis I), and then the process begins.
During prophase I, crossing over occurs between homologous chromosomes; sections of each homologues are physically exchanged during the crossing over process, while the homologous chromosomes are aligned with each other along their lengths. The result is recombinant chromosomes - genetic diversity. This process is the result of a difference in synpasis in meiosis; the sister chromatids are closer than in mitosis, and thus can exchange material.
a) Option C is correct - this is the definition of synapsis.
Option A is incorrect - this is part of anaphase, not synpasis.
Option B is incorrect - this is crossing over.
Option D is incorrect - this is simply the result of meiosis.
b) Option B is correct - this is the definition of crossing over.
Option A is incorrect - the crossing over is an exchange, not a change in position.
Option C is incorrect - this is the definition of synapsis.
Option D is incorrect - this is simply part of mitosis and meiosis for separation.

Are New Microtubules Made When the Spindle Forms?
During interphase, before the beginning of meiosis, a relatively few long microtubules extend from the centrosome (a zone around the centrioles of animal cells where microtubules are organized) to the cell periphery. Like most microtubules, these are refreshed at a low rate with resynthesis. Late in prophase, however, a dramatic change is seen-the centrosome divides into two, and a large increase is seen in the number of microtubules radiating from each of the two daughter centrosomes. The two clusters of new microtubules are easily seen as the green fibers connecting to the two sets of purple daughter chromosomes in the micrograph of early prophase below (a micrograph is a photo taken through a microscope). This burst of microtubule assembly marks the beginning of the formation of the spindle characteristic of metaphase. When it first became known to cell biologists, they asked whether these were existing microtubules being repositioned in the spindle, or newly synthesized microtubules only produced just before metaphase begins.
The graph to the upper right displays the results of an experiment designed to answer this question. Mammalian cells in culture (cells in culture are growing in the laboratory on artificial medium) were injected with microtubule subunits (tubulin) to which a fluorescent dye had been attached (a fluorescent dye is one that glows when exposed to ultraviolet or shortwavelength visual light). After the fluorescent subunits had become incorporated into the cells' microtubules, all the fluorescence in a small region of a cell was bleached by an intense laser beam, destroying the microtubules there. Any subsequent rebuilding of microtubules in the bleached region would have to employ the fluorescent subunits present in the cell, causing recovery of fluorescence in the bleached region. The graph reports this recovery as a function of time, for interphase and metaphase cells. The dotted line represents the time for 50% recovery of fluorescence (t 1/2 ) (that is, t 1/2 is the time required for half of the microtubules in the region to be resynthesized).

Are New Microtubules Made When the Spindle Forms?

In organisms that have sexual life cycles, there is a time when there are

A) 1 n gametes (haploid), followed by 2 n zygotes (diploid).
B) 2 n gametes (haploid), followed by 1 n zygotes (diploid).
C) 2 n gametes (diploid), followed by 1 n zygotes (haploid).
D) 1 n gametes (diploid), followed by 2 n zygotes (haploid).
In many organisms, the haploid stage of the life cycle is dominant, with adult haploid individuals and only a brief diploid stage. No one would argue that the haploid individuals of these organisms are not alive. How then would you support or contest a statement that haploid human sperm or egg cells are not alive individuals?
