Question
Answer
What are prokaryotes   Bacteria  
🗑
What are Eukaryotes   plants and animals  
🗑
how do prokaryotes reproduce   asexually by binary fission  
🗑
explain the process of a prokaryotes asexual reproduction (3 steps)   1. cells increase their mass 2. DNA and cell components replicate 3. Each cell divides into 2 daughter cells  
🗑
How do Eukaryotes reproduce   asexually and sexually  
🗑
Explain the process of a Eukaryote's asexual reproduction   cell division; the type of cell division provides new cells for growth and repair  
🗑
what is the cell cycle for eukaryotes   A cell grows and prepares for division, it divides the nucleus in two, and it divides the cytoplasm to form 2 daughter cells  
🗑
What are chromosomes   condensed forms of chromatid  
🗑
What is a chromatid   a threadlike structure of nucleic acid and protein  
🗑
What is the first stage of the cell cycle and explain the first step   Interphase; cell growth and DNA replication  
🗑
What is the second step of the cell cycle and explain the step   Mitosis; Division of the nucleus  
🗑
What is the third step of the cell cycle and explain the step   Cytokinesis; Division of the cell cytoplasm  
🗑
What are the three phases of Interphase   Growth phase (G1), Synthesis Phase (S), and Growth Phase (G2)  
🗑
What happens in the Growth phase (G1)   the cell increases in size and the cell prepares to copy its DNA  
🗑
What happens in the Synthesis Phase (S)   chromatin is copied, the cell now has 2 sets of DNA, and it is synthesizing a copy of the DNA  
🗑
What happens in the second growth stage (G2)   the cell duplicates organelles, it produces needed proteins and lipids, and it "stock piles" so each new cell will have what it needs  
🗑
What are the three main checkpoints and when does it occur   Cell Growth Checkpoint (end of G1 phase), Synthesis Checkpoint(during S phase), Mitosis Checkpoint (during mitosis)  
🗑
What happens in mitosis   cell growth and protein production stop  
🗑
What are the four stages of mitosis   1. Prophase 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telephase  
🗑
What happens at the first stage   chromatin coils tightly and becomes visable as chromosomes. The nuclear membrane disloids, the nucleolus disappears, centrioles migrate to poles, and spindle fibers begin to form  
🗑
What happens at the second stage   spindle fibers form centrioles attached to each chromosome. The cell prepares to separate its chromosomes and the cell align its chromosomes in the middle of the cell  
🗑
What happens at the third stage   Cell chromosomes are separated and the spindle fibers shorten so chromosomes are pulled to ends of cells  
🗑
What happens at the fourth stage   the separation of sister chromatids are complete. Cell plate forms (plants). Cleavage furrows form (animals). Nucleus and Nucleolus reform, 2 new nuclei form with new nuclear membrane, and chromosomes uncoil and appear as chromatid  
🗑
What is cytokinesis   Cytoplasm is completely divided into 2 complete and indivisual cell are smaller than the original. It forms 2 new identical daughter cells  
🗑
What is the result of mitosis and cytokinesis   It results in the production of two genetically identical diploid cells  
🗑
Describe a prokaryote   It lacks a nucleus, have similar circular chromosomes and reproduce asexually  
🗑
Describe a Eukayote   It has a nucleus and are membrane bound organelles  
🗑


   

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.
