CUI BIO Test 2
Mitosis/Meiosis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are homologous chromosomes? | 2 chromosomes in a cell with the same sequence of genes (1 from mom and 1 from dad) |
| What is a karyotype? | A picture or list of all the pairs of chromosomes present in a cell |
| What are sex chromosomes? | X and Y 2 in diploid Determine the sex |
| What autosomal chromosomes? | 1-22 44 in human diploid cells All the chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes |
| What are sex cells? | Haploid cells Gametes 1 set or chromosomes |
| What are somatic cells? | Body cells Diploid 2 sets of chromosomes |
| What are chromatids? | Unreplicated chromosome |
| What is a chromosome? | 1 long DNA molecule that contains sequences for specific genes or a pair of identical molecules |
| What is a replicated chromosome? | A chromosome consisting of 2 chromatids |
| Define diploid | 2 sets of chromosomes Somatic cell |
| Define haploid | 1 set of chromosomes Sex cell |
| Define tetrad | A homologous pair of chromosomes that is matched up at the beginning of meiosis Physical pairs |
| In a human how many homologous chromosomes are there? | 23 |
| In a human how many chromatids are there? | 92 |
| In a human how many chromatid pairs are there? | 46 |
| In a human how many replicated chromosomes are there? | 46 |
| In a human how many chromosomes are there? | 46 |
| What is the cell cycle? | G1 - S - G2 - M 2 phases - Meitosis (M), Interphase (G1, S, G2) |
| What is G1? (cell cycle) | 1st growth phase Unreplicated chromosomes |
| What is S? (cell cycle) | Synthesis phase DNA replication |
| What is G2? (cell cycle) | 2nd growth phase Replicated chromosomes |
| What is M? (cell cycle) | Mitotic phase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase |
| What is interphase? | 3 parts - G1, S, G2 |
| Mitosis | 1 - Growth 2 - Somatic or Body cells 3 - 2N -> 2N Diploid -> Diploid Two sets -> Two sets |
| Meiosis | 1 - Gamete produced egg/sperm 2 - Germ cell in gonad of animal 3 - 2N -> N Diploid -> Haploid Two sets -> One set |
