Mitosis and Meiosis
Question | Answer |
---|---|
During what stage of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur? | Interphase |
Name the phase of mitosis during which separation of sister chromatids occurs. | Anaphase |
By what process does the cytoplasm of human cell separate? | Cytokinesis |
Name the phase of mitosis in which duplicated chromosomes first appear. | Prophase |
Where in humans would you expect to find meiosis taking place? | Sex organs (gonads) |
If there are 13 pair of homologues at the start of spermatogenesis, how many chromosomes are there in a sperm? | 13 |
What term refers to the production of an egg? | Oogenesis |
During which type of gametogenesis would you see polar bodies? | Oogenesis |
What do you call chromosomes that have the same length and carry genes for the same trait? | Homologues |
If homologues are separating, what phase is this? | Anaphase 1 |
If the parent call has 24 chromosomes, how many does each daughter cell have at the completion of meiosis 2? | 12 |
Name the type of cell division during which homologues pair. | Meiosis |
Name the type of nuclear division described by 2n-> 2n. | Mitosis |
Does metaphase of mitosis, meiosis 1, or meiosis 2 have the haploid number of chromosomes at the metaphase plate of the spindle? | Meiosis 2 |
Meiosis functions to reduce chromosome number. When, during the human life cycle is the diploid number of chromosomes restored? | Fertilization |
How does the alignment of chromosomes differ between metaphase of mitosis and metaphase of meiosis 1? | Metaphase of mitosis line up on the equator of the cells as separate individual chromosomes. Metaphase of meiosis 1 they line up as pairs. |
A student is simulating meiosis 1 with homologous that are red-long and yellow-long. Describe the appearance of two non sister chromatids following crossing-over. | Red --> Yellow Yellow --> Red at touching pairs |
