Biology Cell Cycle & Meiosis Test
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What forms in the middle of plant cells in Telophase? | A cell plate. |
| In Interphase, what happens to the chromosomes FIRST? | They are duplicated. |
| In Interphase, what do chromosomes appear as? | Threadlike coils or CHROMATINS. |
| What is the name of the copied chromosomes? | Sister Chromosomes. |
| In Interphase, what do the sister chromosomes change into? | Sister Chromatids. |
| What happenes at the end of Interphase? | Sister chromosomes are changed into Sister Chromatids. |
| What is the point that connects the chromosomes? | Centromeres. |
| Where does Mitosis begin? | In Prophase. |
| In Prophase, Mitosis begins. What begins to happen? | Cells begin to divide. |
| In Prophase, what appears &begins to move to opposite sides of the cell? | Centrioles. |
| In Prophase, what do the centrioles do? | Appear & Begin to move to the opposite sides of the cell. |
| What happens at the end of Prophase? | Spindle fibers begin to form between the poles. |
| What happens in Metaphase? | Chromatids begin to attach to the Spindle Fibers. |
| What happens in Anaphase? | The Chromatids SEPARATE & begin to move to opposite ends of the cell. |
| In Telophase, what forms? | 2 new Nuclei. |
| In Telophase, what do chromosomes appear as? | Chromatin (threads rather than rods) |
| What happens in the end of Telophase? | Mitosis Ends. |
| What happens in Telophase 1 on Meiosis? | Cleavage Furrow forms beginning Cytokinesis. |
| In Meiosis, what is the name of the area where the chromatids line up during Metaphase? | Equitorial Plate. |
| In Meiosis, what do the diploid cells contain during Prophase Early-Middle? | Homologous Chromosomes. |
| In Meiosis, Early Prophase, what's up with the pairs? | One is maternally derived & one is partially derived. |
| What is the pairing in Meiosis Prophase early called? | Synapsis. |
| What happens at the end of Meiosis Prophase Early? | Nuclear Envelope & Nucleoli begin to disappear. |
| In Meiosis Prophase Late, what's the first thing that happens? | The homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material by chaismata. |
| What happens last in Prophase Late? | Microtubules attach to the chromosomes, directing them to the equatorial plate. |
| What has happened in Metaphase 1? | Homologous chromosomes has lined up in a pair-wise fashion. |
| What happens in Anaphase 1? | The chromosomes from each pair move to each opposite side of the cell. |
| What's the 2nd thing in Anaphase 1? | The centromeres don't divide. |
| What happens in Telophase 1? | The chromosomes DECONDENSES, nuclear membrane reforms, and the cytoplasm divides. |
| What happens in Prophase 2? | The chromatin once again CONDENSES into chromatids. |
| What happens in Metaphase 2? | Chromosomes have lined up on the equatorial plate & microtubules from opposite poles attach to each sister chromatid. |
| What happens in Anaphase 2? | Centromeres divide & both chromatids become independent chromosomes & move to cell's opposite sides. |
| What happens in Telophase 2? | Once again the chromosomes decondense, nuclear membrane reforms. |
