Ch. 25: Perpetuation of the Species

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Diploid   State in which every chromosome of a cell has a Homologue  
🗑
Haploid   State in which each of the 26 chromosomes lacks a homologous counterpart  
🗑
Interphase   The period in a cell's life cycle between periods of mitosis  
🗑
G1 phase   Gap phase  
🗑
S phase   Synthesis phase  
🗑
G2 phase   Growth phase  
🗑
Cytokinesis   Cytoplasmic division  
🗑
Mitosis stages (4)   Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase  
🗑
Centromere   Joins together each pair of duplicate chromosomes  
🗑
Chromatid   One member of the pair of chromosomes  
🗑
Prophase   The chromosomes condense to the point they are visible under light microscope as x shaped structures. The nucleolus slowly disappears. Centrioles move to opposite poles of the cell. Microtbules give rise to the mitotic spindle.  
🗑
Metaphase   Marked by complete dissolution of the nuclear membrane. The chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate with the help of kinetochore fibers.  
🗑
Daughter chromosome   When sister chromatids are separated  
🗑
Anaphase   Sister chromatids separate (as a result of the splitting of the centromere) and move toward opposite poles of the cell.  
🗑
Telophase   Daughter chromosomes are positioned at opposite poles of the cell. A nuclear membrane forms around each set of daughter chromosomes. The chromosomes decondense and are no longer visible. Nucleoli reappear.  
🗑
Cleavage furrow   Occurs during cytokinesis to divide the cell  
🗑


   

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.
