Flash cards/test questions to help with that tough Cellular Reproduction exam

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

Question
Answer
From where do new cells arise?   mitosis  
🗑
Why does the body constantly make new cells?   because cells continue to live and die and they need to be replaced  
🗑
Why must each new cell get a complete copy of the original cell's DNA?   need a complete set of data in order to function properly  
🗑
The original cell that divides is called what?   the parent cell  
🗑
what are the two identical cells called formed from a parent cell called?   daughter cells  
🗑
Copying DNA is known as what?   replication  
🗑
What is the proper order cell cycle? (Hint=5 steps)   G1, S,G2, Mitosis, Cytokinesis  
🗑
Explain in detail how cancerous cells have a way of replicating even through the cell cycle?   The proto-oncogenes mutate and the cells continue to divide in an uncontrollable way.  
🗑
What is the longest phase of the cell cycle?   Synthesis  
🗑
Which phase has 3 stages & name them   Interphase G1, S, G2  
🗑
Which phase has 4 stages & name them   Mitosis Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase  
🗑
Can the nucleus and nucleolus be seen during interphase?   yes  
🗑
How many chromosomes are in a human body cell?   46  
🗑
Explain how full chromosomes develop.   Form when protein and DNA tightly coil around one another until they condense into a chromosome  
🗑
Non-condensed chromosomes are called what?   DNA  
🗑
What are duplicated(doubled) chromosomes called?   chromatids  
🗑
What holds chromatids together?   centromere  
🗑
be able to sketch and label all the parts of a chromosome    
🗑
Where are autosomes found on a pair?   the genes that are not located on a sex chromosome  
🗑
Where are the sex chromosomes found on a pair?   23  
🗑
What is the genotype for males? For females?   Males=XY Females=XX  
🗑
The presence of which chromosome determines the sex of the child?   Y chromosome  
🗑
In which type of cell does mitosis occur, explain why?   Eukaryote because prokaryotes do not have a nucleus to divide  
🗑
What happens to the nucleus and the nucleolus during prophase. explain why   They condense into chromosomes to split so that the cell may be able to continue to divide properly without going through any harmful mutation.  
🗑
know how to draw and label all parts of the cell in prophase    
🗑
What happens to chromosomes during metaphase?   they line up at the center of the cell  
🗑
During metaphase where do the chromosomes line up?   at the center of the cell  
🗑
What happens to sister chromatids during anaphase?   they are pulled apart towards opposite sides of the pole.  
🗑
What pulls sister chromatids apart during anaphase?   spindle fibers and centrioles  
🗑
Where are chromatids located during telophase?   polar ends  
🗑
What reforms around each set of sister chromatids during telophase?   the nuclear membrane  
🗑
Explain how cytokinesis occurs in animals and what exactly divides during cytokinesis?   A cleavage furrow forms to pinch the membrane into two cells so that the cell will be able to finish duplicating and form two new daughter cells.  
🗑
How does the chromosomes number of the parent cell compare to that of the 2 daughter cells? How do the cells compare in size?   They are the same, both have 46 chromosomes. The two new daughter cells are much smaller than the original mother cell.  
🗑
Describe what could possibly happen if mitosis is not controlled?   a cancerous tumor could form  
🗑
Do chromosomes replicate or double before meiosis?   Replicate  
🗑
How many divisions occur in meiosis? Is this the same as mitosis? Explain.   Meiosis goes through 2 divisions while mitosis only goes through 1.  
🗑
The original cell that divides by meiosis is _____________ or 2n   diploid  
🗑
How many daughter cells can be produced by meiosis> Is this the same as mitosis?   Meiosis ends with 4 daughter cells while mitosis ends in 2 daughter cells  
🗑
What is the chromosome number of the daughter cells produced by meiosis? How does this compare to the number of chromosomes in the original cells   In the original cell there are 46 chromosomes but in the daughter cells there are 23 because its half of the original number  
🗑
What are the daughter cells called that are produced by meiosis? Name them   Gametes sperm and egg cells  
🗑
Name the 2 types of meiosis   Meiosis I Meiosis II  
🗑
In humans how many chromosomes are in the original cells that undergoes meiosis?   46  
🗑
After one division, how many chromosomes are in the cells? Are the single or double stranded?   23 double  
🗑
After the second division how many chromosomes are in the cells, are they single or double stranded   23 single  
🗑
Is meiosis sexual or asexual reproduction?   sexual  
🗑
Are eggs and sperm haploid or diploid   haploid  
🗑
What process join the egg and sperm to restore the original chromosome # of the organism?   sexual reproduction or fertilization  
🗑
______________ _________________ are pairs of sister chromatids that have the same genes, but may have different alleles.   homologous chromosomes  
🗑
When sperm fertilizes and egg, a 2n cells forms called the what?   zygote  
🗑
In order name the stages of Meiosis I   Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I  
🗑
Name two events that occur in Prophase I   -crossing over -chromosomes further condensing  
🗑
Crossing over results in genetic ____________ in the offspring   variation  
🗑
What even occurs during Metaphase I   homologous chromosomes move to the center of the cell  
🗑
Name 2 events that occur in Anaphase 1   -homologous chromosomes separate -set of chromosomes move to each pole  
🗑
Name 3 event that occur in Telophase I   -cells begin to cleave -spindle fibers disappear -2 sets of chromosomes are at opposite ends of poles  
🗑
In order, name the stages in Meiosis II   Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II  
🗑
What happens in prophase II   spindle forms around the chromosomes  
🗑
What is the difference between Telophase I and Telophase II   TI~ spindle fibers disappear as the cell begins to cleave TII~ nuclear envelop forms around each set of chromosomes  
🗑
Where are the sister chromatids in Metaphase II?   lined up at the center & spindle fibers attach  
🗑
What happened to the sister chromatids during Anaphase II?   chromatids split to opposite ends of the pole.  
🗑
Meiosis results in _______ haploid cells called __________   4 gametes  
🗑
  spermatogenesis  
🗑
Gametogenesis that produces egg cells is called what?   oogenesis  
🗑
How many haploid cells after oogenesis will become an egg cell?   1  
🗑
Explain why not all 4 haploid cells will survive at the end of oogenesis?   1 of the 4 eggs cells takes most of the cytoplasm and nutrients. The cell then grows while the other 3 eventually die off  
🗑


   

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.
