Question	Answer
During what stage of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?	Interphase
Name the phase of mitosis during which separation of sister chromatids occurs.	Anaphase
By what process does the cytoplasm of human cell separate?	Cytokinesis
Name the phase of mitosis in which duplicated chromosomes first appear.	Prophase
Where in humans would you expect to find meiosis taking place?	Sex organs (gonads)
If there are 13 pair of homologues at the start of spermatogenesis, how many chromosomes are there in a sperm?	13
What term refers to the production of an egg?	Oogenesis
During which type of gametogenesis would you see polar bodies?	Oogenesis
What do you call chromosomes that have the same length and carry genes for the same trait?	Homologues
If homologues are separating, what phase is this?	Anaphase 1
If the parent call has 24 chromosomes, how many does each daughter cell have at the completion of meiosis 2?	12
Name the type of cell division during which homologues pair.	Meiosis
Name the type of nuclear division described by 2n-> 2n.	Mitosis
Does metaphase of mitosis, meiosis 1, or meiosis 2 have the haploid number of chromosomes at the metaphase plate of the spindle?	Meiosis 2
Meiosis functions to reduce chromosome number. When, during the human life cycle is the diploid number of chromosomes restored?	Fertilization
How does the alignment of chromosomes differ between metaphase of mitosis and metaphase of meiosis 1?	Metaphase of mitosis line up on the equator of the cells as separate individual chromosomes. Metaphase of meiosis 1 they line up as pairs.
A student is simulating meiosis 1 with homologous that are red-long and yellow-long. Describe the appearance of two non sister chromatids following crossing-over.	Red --> Yellow Yellow --> Red at touching pairs
