New cards

Each pair of chromosomes in your regular body cells is…

a “homologous pair”

New cards

Homologous Pair’s have…

  • same length

  • same general appearance

  • copies of the same genes in the same order

    • Copies may be different between the 2 chromosomes

One copy is from the father, and one is from the mother

3
New cards

Autosomes

Pairs 1-22

  • contain genes for characteristics not directly related to the sex of an organism

4
New cards

Sex Chromosomes (in humans)

X & Y chromosomes

  • match up for the 23rd pair up of chromosomes

5
New cards

Abnormalities can occur…

during cell division (including meiosis)

6
New cards

Body Cells

Your body cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes

  • called diploid → have 2 copies of every chromosome

  • written as 2n

Cells go through mitosis

7
New cards

Gametes

Have 23 chromosomes (not pairs)

  • not paired up until a sperm and an egg cell join

  • called haploid → have a single copy of each chromosome

  • written as n

Go through meiosis
