| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| one complete set of chromosomes | haploid |
| complex of proteins to which the microtubules of the spindle attach | kinetochore |
| a bead like structure composed of DNA wrapped around proteins | nucleosome |
| the region on a chromosome with attachments for spindle microtubules | centromere |
| two complete sets of chromosomes | diploid |
| a DNA molecule coiled and looped to become visible under a microscope | chromosome |
| the two sides of a duplicated chromosome | sister chromatids |
| matching chromosomes, usually one from each parent | homologous |
| single circular piece of DNA | prokaryotic DNA |
| comprised of five types of proteins that are used to coil DNA tightly | histones |
| sexual or asexual? brings together new combinations of alleles in the offspring | sexual |
| sexual or asexual? involves only one parent | asexual |
| sexual or asexual? involves two parents | sexual |
| sexual or asexual? produces clones | asexual |
| sexual or asexual? involves the formation of gametes and fertilization | sexual |
| sexual or asexual? offspring are genetically identical to parent | asexual |
| sexual or asexual? produces variations in traits in offspring | sexual |
| sexual or asexual? not done by prokaryotic cells | sexual |
| Name stages of cell cycle in order | interphase (G1, S, G2), M phase (mitosis: (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase), cytokinesis) |
| Period after duplication of DNA during which the cell prepares for division | g2 phase |
| The complete period of nuclear division that is followed by cytoplasmic division | m phase |
| DNA duplication occurs now; a time of “synthesis” of DNA and proteins | s phase |
| Period of cell growth before DNA duplication | interphase |
| Usually the longest part of a cell cycle | interphase |
| Period of cytoplasmic division | cytokinesis |
| Period that includes G1, G2, S | interphase |
| Sperm and egg cells are known as (gametes / diploid cells). | gametes |
| In meiosis, chromosomes go through (one / two) divisions. | two |
| (Diploid / Haploid) cells possess pairs of homologous chromosomes. | diploid |
| One pair of duplicated chromosomes equals (two / four) sister chromatids. | two |
| Tetrads form in (meiosis I / meiosis II). | meiosis I |
| Immediately after completing meiosis I the resulting two daughter cells are ( diploid / haploid ). | haploid |
| If each human cell contains 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes, each gamete will contain ( 23 / 46 ) chromosomes. | 23 |
| DNA is replicated during (interphase I / interphase II) of meiosis. | interphase I |
| Two attached sister chromatids represent (one / two) chromosome(s). | one |
| plant or animal? formation of a cell plate | plant |
| plant or animal? formation of a cleavage furrow | animal |
| plant or animal? cellulose is deposited to form a wall between the daughter cells | plant |
| plant or animal? microfilaments inside the cell help to pull the cell membrane inward | animal |
| plant or animal? as mitosis ends, vesicles converge at the spindle equator | plant |
| plant or animal? centrioles form and organize the spindle | animal |
| mitosis or meiosis? Involves one division cycle. | mitosis |
| mitosis or meiosis? Functions in growth and repair. | mitosis |
| mitosis or meiosis? Daughter cells are all haploid. | meiosis |
| mitosis or meiosis? Involves two divisions. | meiosis |
| mitosis or meiosis? Daughter cells receive one chromosome from each homologous pair. | meiosis |
| mitosis or meiosis? Daughter cells receive the diploid number of chromosomes | mitosis |
| mitosis or meiosis? Crossing over often occurs. | meiosis |
| mitosis or meiosis? Daughter cells are identical to parent. | mitosis |
