Biology Exam Three
Mitosis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| strictly speaking, mitosis and meiosis are divisions of the | nucleus |
| when a cell undergoes mitosis | the daughter cells have identical genes |
| the proteins responsible for the ultimate packaging of DNA into chromosome are the | histones |
| duplicated DNA that is attached before mitosis is called | sister chromatids |
| this phase of the cell cycle is when the cell is PREPARING to make new DNA | G1 |
| this phase of the cell cycle is when the cell IS making new DNA | S |
| this phase of the cell is when the cell IS dividing | M |
| the phase of mitosis when each individual chromosome lines up in a straight line is called | metaphase |
| the phase of mitosis when sister chromatids are pulled apart is called | anaphase |
| the phase of mitosis when the plasma membrane splits into two new cells is called | cytokinesis |
| the number of DNA molecules in a duplicated chromosome (sister chromatids) is | 2 |
| after mitosis, a cell that had originally 16 chromosomes make two daughter cells that have how many chromosomes | 16 |
| plant cells that undergo mitosis form these structures during cytokinesis to make daughter cells | cell plate |
| the chromosomes of cells are actually replicated (duplicate) during | interphase |
| the spindle apparatus | microtubles |
| the organelles responsible for the formation of the spindle apparatus are the | centrioles |
| you cannot see chromosomes in a cell that is dividing (TRUE/FALSE) | FALSE |
| what is not a stage of mitosis | telophase |
| which of these cell types does not typically divide during your life time | nerve cells |
| the phase of the meiosis when chromosomes homologous chromosomes line up in pairs in a straight line is called | metaphase I |
| meiosis occurs in | cells destined to be gamates |
| homologous chromosomes can exchange genetic material (TRUE/FALSE) | TRUE |
| synapsis and crossing over ( the exchange of DNA between homologous chromosome pairs ) can occur during | prophase I |
| at the beginning of meiosis in human cell destined to be a sperm or egg, there are how many chromosome pairs | 23 |
| a cell has 46 totals chromosomes and goes through meiosis. how many chromosomes are in a cells following meiosis | 23 |
| which of these conditions is associated with problems occurring during meiosis in cells destined be gametes | down syndrome |
| when you can see sister chromatids during a cell's division, they typically look like a | X |
| all sperm or egg made by male or female organism, respectively, are identical with regard to genetic (TRUE/FALSE) | FALSE |
| the starting cell that goes through meiosis to be a sperm that actually produces how many sperm cells | 4 |
| Mendels model plant is a | pea plant |
