Cell Cycles Test

Question
Answer
when during the cell cycle is the cell's DNA replicated   the S phase  
🗑
gametes are produced by the process of   meiosis  
🗑
the two main stages of cell division are called   mitosis and cytokinesis  
🗑
normal cells stop growing when they come into contact with other cells   true  
🗑
during normal mitotic cell division, a parent cell having four chromosomes will produce two daughter cells, each having   four chromosomes  
🗑
cell division is represented in figure 10-1 by letter   D  
🗑
3 major differences between mitosis and meiosis   1. mitosis produces body cells, meiosis produces gametes 2. resulting cells in mitosis are genetically identical and the resulting cells in meiosis are genetically unique 3. mitosis produces diploid cells, meiosis produces haploid cells  
🗑
what is shown in figure 11-3   crossing over  
🗑
cancer is a disorder in which some cells have lost their ability to control their   growth rate  
🗑
mitosis result in two cells, whereas meiosis results in one cell   false  
🗑
a cell's chromosomes replicate during interphase   true  
🗑
the cell cycle is the   series of events cells go through as they grow and divide  
🗑
typically, the longest phase of the cell cycle is metaphase   false  
🗑
cell division solves the problem of cell growth by increasing cell volume   false  
🗑
the process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells is called   cell division  
🗑
cancer is a disorder in which some of the body's cells lose their control over growth and division   true  
🗑
how do cancer cells differ from normal cells   cancer cells cannot control their growth and division rates whereas regular cells grow and divide at a consistent, normal rate  
🗑
during metaphase, each chromosome is connected to a ______ at its centromere   spindle fiber  
🗑
proteins called ______ regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells   cyclins  
🗑
an organism's gametes have ______ the number of chromosomes found in that organism's body cells   half  
🗑
in all forms of _______ the affected cells fail to respond to the signals that normally control the cell cycle   cancer  
🗑
crossing over occurs during the stage of meiosis called _________   prophase I  
🗑
lack of control over the cell cycle is the control of all cancers   true  
🗑
a cell splits into two daughter cells during telophase   false  
🗑
during which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up along the middle of the dividing cell   metaphase  
🗑
compared to small cells, large cells have trouble   moving needed materials in and waste products out  
🗑
as a cell grows it   all of the above  
🗑
when during the cell cycle are chromosomes visible   only during cell division  
🗑
if it takes a cell one hour to undergo mitosis, about 50 minutes of the time would be spent in prophase   false  
🗑
which of the following is a stage of mitosis   prophase  
🗑
the first phase of mitosis is called   prophase  
🗑
if an organism's diploid number is 12, it's haploid number is   6  
🗑
chromosomes form tetrads during   prophase I of meiosis  
🗑
as a cell becomes larger, its   volume increases faster than its surface area  
🗑
gametes have   one allele for each gene  
🗑
unlike mitosis, meiosis results in the formation of   four genetically unique cells  
🗑
which event occurs during interphase   the cell grows  
🗑
which of the following happens when a cell divides   each daughter cell receives its own copy of the parent cell's DNA  
🗑
unlike mitosis, meiosis results in the formation of   haploid cells  
🗑
which of the following represents the phases of mitosis is the correct order   prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase  
🗑
if an organism has 16 chromosomes in each of its egg cells, its diploid number is 32   true  
🗑
what is the role of the spindle during mitosis   it helps separate the chromosomes  
🗑
explain what is meant by homologous chromosomes   the two sets of chromosomes found in a body cell that have the same genes on them. one of these chromosomes is from the mother and the other is from the father  
🗑
explain the mechanisms of sex determination in humans   gametes are responsible for sex of child. if 23rd chromosome pair is xx, it will be a girl. if it is xy, it will be a boy. the y chromosome can only come from a male, so the father of the child is essentially responsible for the gender of the baby  
🗑
what would happen if the gametes of a species had the same number of chromosomes as the body cells   when the gametes fused during fertilization, the offspring would have more chromosomes in their body cells than the parents have. the species' chromosome number would not be constant  
🗑


   

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.
