peer tutoring assignment

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
mitosis vs. meiosis   1. genetically identical/genetically unique 2. result = diploid cells/result = haploid cells 3. asexual/sexual 4. one cell division/two cell divisions  
🗑
meiosis I   divides homologous chromosomes, produces two haploid cells  
🗑
prophase I   centrioles and centromeres move to opposite sides and homologous chromosomes pair up  
🗑
metaphase I   pairs of chromosomes line up randomly in the middle by spindle fibers  
🗑
anaphase I   pairs of chromosomes separate towards opposite sides of the cell  
🗑
telophase I   nuclear membrane forms around two separate cells, cytokineses (separation of cytoplasm)  
🗑
meiosis II   divides sister chromotids, resulting in haploid cells (DNA is not copied before-hand)  
🗑
prophase II   centrioles and centromeres move to opposite sides, nuclear membrane breaks down  
🗑
metaphase II   individual chromosomes line up in middle by spindle fibers  
🗑
anaphase II   sister chromatids are pulled apart towards opposite sides  
🗑
telophase II   cytokinesis, nuclear membrane reforms around the four individual haploid  
🗑
somatic cells   cell that makes up all of the body tissue and organs, except gametes  
🗑
gametes   sex cell (egg or sperm)  
🗑
homologous chromosomes   chromosomes that have the same length, appearance, and copies of genes, although the alleles may differ  
🗑
autosome   chromosome that contains genes for characteristics not directly related to the sex of the organism  
🗑
sex chromosome   chromosome that directly controls the development of sexual characteristics (determines male or female)  
🗑
sexual reproduction   process by which two gametes fuse and offspring that are a genetic mixture of both parents are produces  
🗑
fertilization   fusion of an egg and sperm cell  
🗑
diploid   cell that has two copies of each chromosome  
🗑
haploid   cell that has one copy of each chromosome  
🗑
meiosis   divides diploid cells into haploid cells, forming gametes  
🗑
polar body   haploid cell produces during meiosis in the female of any species  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
