CHAP 5 TEST MITOSIS, MEIOSIS, DNA, AND PROTEIN SYN
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Genes | sections of DNA (chromosomes) |
Diploid | condition in which a cell has a full set of homologous chromosomes; 2 of each one |
Sexual reproduction. | type of reproduction in which offspring receive genetic information from both parents |
S Phase | that period of Interphase in which DNA makes a copy of itself during replication |
The fusion of gametes is ____________reproduction. | sexual reproduction |
Zygote | the fertilized egg formed by the fusion of 2 gametes during sexual reproduction |
Cells divide the nucleus during ____________? | mitosis |
Cells divide the cytoplasm forming 2 new daughter cells during ___________________? | cytokinesis |
Sister chromatid | Identical copies of a doubled chromosome held together by a centromere. |
Cell reproduction in which a mother cell produces 2 identical daughter cells is | mitosis |
Cell reproduction in which a mother cell produces daughter cells with 1/2 the number of chromosomes is | meiosis |
A type of reproduction thats involves only 1 parental DNA source is | asexual |
Name the 3 types of asexual reproduction we studied in class. | budding, regeneration, binary fission |
Sexual or asexual; which type of reproduction produces offspring identical to the parent? | asexual |
The phase in which the nuclear membrane disappears. | prophase |
the phase in which the new nuclear membrane forms. | telophase |
The phase in which the chromosomes are lined up the center of the spindle | metaphase |
A cell with only one of each type of chromosome and only 1/2 of the total number of chromosomes. | haploid |
Which cell division produces gametes? | meiosis |
3 functions for mitosis | producing new cells for growth, producing new cells to repair damaged tissue, producing new cells as a method of asexual reproduction |
Sister chromatids separated in anaphase of a dividing cell are now called | daughter chromosomes |
The process of growing missing body parts is | regeneration |
The egg and sperm combine in the process known as | fertilization |
Spores are produced by which cell type of cell division? | meiosis |
Spores can survive unfavorable conditions because they have | a thick protein coat |
How many nitrogen bases would be needed for an amino acid chain of 8? | 24 |
How many chromosomes in a human skin cell? | 46 |
What is the diploid number for humans? | 46 |
How many chromosomes in a human gamete? | 23 |
What is the haploid number for humans? | 23 |
What carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome for protein building? | mRNA |
3 parts of a nucleotide | a phosphate group, a sugar, a nitrogen base |
the 4 bases of DNA | adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine |
the 4 bases of RNA | adenine, uracil, cytosine, guanine |
The bonding rules for DNA | A - T & C - G |
The bonding rules for RNA | A - U & C - G |
The phase of mitosis in which chromosomes become visible | Prophase |
Haploid | condition of cell in which there is 1/2 of the homologous chromosomes; 1 of each pair |
Protein synthesis | the process of assembling amino acids into proteins |
The organelle that assembles proteins. | ribosome |
