BSCL1005 Exam 2 CC Quiz
Generate genetic diversity - ✅✅-Which of the following is NOT a primary
function of mitosis?
Growth - ✅✅-Which of the following is NOT a primary function of
meiosis?
Meiosis - chromosome number is halved to produce haploid gametes
Fertilization > egg and sperm fuse to produce a diploid zygote
Mitosis > cells with the same set of DNA divide and develop into an
organism
✅✅
Mitosis AND Meiosis > multicellular adults use mitosis for repair and
growth; adults produce sperm and egg via meiosis - -Using the figure
below from your booklet and your understanding of mitosis and meiosis,
select the biological process that occurs at each point during the human life
cycle.
Meiosis generates genetic diversity in eggs and sperm. This diversity
results in offspring containing slight differences in DNA from their parents,
allowing for genetic diversity between generations.
One way this diversity is important for survival and reproduction of
✅✅
individuals in populations is that organisms have a better chance of
surviving in a changing environment. - -Based on what you've learned
in class, why is generating genetic diversity important from an evolutionary
perspective?
About 12 days into the female reproductive cycle, the levels of estrogen
peak in a woman's body. This estrogen peak triggers a surge of LH and
follicle-stimulating hormone. The peak of LH triggers the release of the egg
from the follicle about 1-2 days following the surge.
✅✅
High levels of LH signify that ovulation is about to occur, so this woman will
ovulate in the next day or two. - -Some women use ovulation kits to
determine when they are ovulating. Ovulation kits work by detecting the
amount of luteinizing hormone (LH) in a woman's urine.
A woman took an ovulation test and the levels of LH were high in her urine.
Based on what you know about the female reproductive cycle from class
and your booklet, why do you think ovulation kits are designed to detect
LH? At what stage in the monthly female reproductive cycle is this woman,
given the information above?
✅✅
WRONG ANSWER - Checking for genomic DNA contamination and purity
of samples - -Which of these investigations could NOT be addressed
using gel electophoresis?
