Cell Division
chapter 16 mitosis and meiosis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Produces daughter cells that have the same number of chromosomes (genetically identical) as the parent cell | mitosis |
| Produces daughter cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell | meiosis |
| Chromosomes that are the same length and have similar banding patterns | homologous |
| Cell division that typically produces gametes | meiosis |
| Cell division that is necessary for growth of an organism | mitosis |
| Chromosomes line up in single file on the equatorial plate | metaphase of mitosis |
| Chromosomes are lined up in tetrads on the equatorial plate | metaphase I of meiosis |
| The centromere breaks when spindle fibres tug on it. | anaphase of mitosis OR anaphase II of meiosis |
| Completion of division of chromosomes | telophase |
| The longest stage of a cell cycle | interphase |
| Division of cytoplasm and organelles | cytokinesis |
| Chart of an organism's chromosomes arranged in pairs to diagnose some genetic disorders | karyotype |
| Pairing of homologous chromosomes in prophase I of meiosis | synapsis |
| The result of synapsis | tetrad |
| Exchange of sections (genes) between homologous chromosomes | crossing over |
