Mitosis/Meiosis Test
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where are chromosomes found? | In the nucleus |
| What are chromosomes shaped like after Prophase? | X's |
| What do we call loose unwound DNA? | chromatin |
| What is the shape on DNA? | Double helix |
| DNA has four nucleotide bases: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. How can you remember which ones pair up? | Apples in the Tree (A with T) Cars in the Garage (C with G) |
| Each "rung" of the DNA ladder is made of? | A pair of nucleotide bases |
| What is the function of DNA? | It carries all our genetic info |
| What is the function of RNA? | It is used in building proteins |
| Name the phases of the cell cycle? (I picked more apples than cherries) | Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis |
| _________ makes exact copies. | mitosis |
| ________ makes sex cells. | meiosis |
| Clone cells are called ______________ cells. | DAUGHTER |
| True/False: Cells made by mitosis are called haploid. | FALSE! CELLS MADE BY MITOSIS ARE DIPLOID. HAPLOID MEANS 1/2 THE NUMBER OF CHROMOSOMES. MEIOSIS MAKES CELLS THAT ARE HAPLOID. |
| Human cells, with the exception of sperm and egg cells, have _____ chromosomes. | 46 |
| The DNA is replicated during what phase of the cell cycle? | Interphase |
| Mitosis is made up of what 4 phases? (Name them in order) | Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase |
| Miosis is the dividing of the ____________________ into two new nuclei. | NUCLEUS |
| Cytokinesis is the dividing of the ___________________. | CYTOPLASM |
| What is a chromatid? | 2 identical strands of DNA that are joined by a centromere |
| A change in the DNA during replication is called a | mutation |
| If this were one side of a segment of DNA: AGCT WHAT WOULD THE OTHER SIDE BE? | TCGA |
| Factors that control traits are called | GENES |
| During what phase do chromosomes line up in the middle? | Metaphase |
| During what phase do centromeres divide and chromosome halves move to each side of the cell? | Anaphase |
| True/False: The two nuclei present in telophase (just before the cell actually splits) are identical. | TRUE |
| What phase of the cell cycle is the longest? | Interphase |
