Cell Cycles Test

QuestionAnswer
when during the cell cycle is the cell's DNA replicated the S phase
gametes are produced by the process of meiosis
the two main stages of cell division are called mitosis and cytokinesis
normal cells stop growing when they come into contact with other cells true
during normal mitotic cell division, a parent cell having four chromosomes will produce two daughter cells, each having four chromosomes
cell division is represented in figure 10-1 by letter D
3 major differences between mitosis and meiosis 1. mitosis produces body cells, meiosis produces gametes 2. resulting cells in mitosis are genetically identical and the resulting cells in meiosis are genetically unique 3. mitosis produces diploid cells, meiosis produces haploid cells
what is shown in figure 11-3 crossing over
cancer is a disorder in which some cells have lost their ability to control their growth rate
mitosis result in two cells, whereas meiosis results in one cell false
a cell's chromosomes replicate during interphase true
the cell cycle is the series of events cells go through as they grow and divide
typically, the longest phase of the cell cycle is metaphase false
cell division solves the problem of cell growth by increasing cell volume false
the process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells is called cell division
cancer is a disorder in which some of the body's cells lose their control over growth and division true
how do cancer cells differ from normal cells cancer cells cannot control their growth and division rates whereas regular cells grow and divide at a consistent, normal rate
during metaphase, each chromosome is connected to a ______ at its centromere spindle fiber
proteins called ______ regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells cyclins
an organism's gametes have ______ the number of chromosomes found in that organism's body cells half
in all forms of _______ the affected cells fail to respond to the signals that normally control the cell cycle cancer
crossing over occurs during the stage of meiosis called _________ prophase I
lack of control over the cell cycle is the control of all cancers true
a cell splits into two daughter cells during telophase false
during which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up along the middle of the dividing cell metaphase
compared to small cells, large cells have trouble moving needed materials in and waste products out
as a cell grows it all of the above
when during the cell cycle are chromosomes visible only during cell division
if it takes a cell one hour to undergo mitosis, about 50 minutes of the time would be spent in prophase false
which of the following is a stage of mitosis prophase
the first phase of mitosis is called prophase
if an organism's diploid number is 12, it's haploid number is 6
chromosomes form tetrads during prophase I of meiosis
as a cell becomes larger, its volume increases faster than its surface area
gametes have one allele for each gene
unlike mitosis, meiosis results in the formation of four genetically unique cells
which event occurs during interphase the cell grows
which of the following happens when a cell divides each daughter cell receives its own copy of the parent cell's DNA
unlike mitosis, meiosis results in the formation of haploid cells
which of the following represents the phases of mitosis is the correct order prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
if an organism has 16 chromosomes in each of its egg cells, its diploid number is 32 true
what is the role of the spindle during mitosis it helps separate the chromosomes
explain what is meant by homologous chromosomes the two sets of chromosomes found in a body cell that have the same genes on them. one of these chromosomes is from the mother and the other is from the father
explain the mechanisms of sex determination in humans gametes are responsible for sex of child. if 23rd chromosome pair is xx, it will be a girl. if it is xy, it will be a boy. the y chromosome can only come from a male, so the father of the child is essentially responsible for the gender of the baby
what would happen if the gametes of a species had the same number of chromosomes as the body cells when the gametes fused during fertilization, the offspring would have more chromosomes in their body cells than the parents have. the species' chromosome number would not be constant
