Term
Name the process that helps ensure gentic continuity within an organism.
Definition
Mitosis
Term
Name the process thats helps ensure genetic differences between organisms.
Definition
Meiosis
Term
How many sperm are produced as a result of Spermatogenesis?
Definition
4
Term
How many eggs are produced as a result of mitosis?
Definition
1
Term
What do we call 3 small entities that form along with the ovum in Oogensis?
Definition
Polar-bodies
Term
If cell has 12 chromosomes during interphase, how many exist after mitosis?
Definition

12

Because it's straight copies

Term
If a cell has 12 chromosomes during interphase, how many exist after Meiosis?
Definition

6

Because it splits the chromosomes

Term
What Mitotic structure is present in an animal cell but not found in a plant?
Definition
Centrioles
Term
What mitotic structure forms between dividing chomatids in plant cells?
Definition
Cell Plate
Term
What do we call string-like mitotic structures that guide chromatids?
Definition
Spindle fibers
Term
What do we call the point of attachment of replicated chromosomes?
Definition
Centremere
Term
What are 2 major problems cells encounter if they get too big?
Definition
  1. DNA Overload
  2. Can't digest & get rid of enough food to stay alive
Term
Is it better for a cell to have a low or high surface area to volume ratio?
Definition
Low
Term
Define Mitosis
Definition
Divides the nucleus
Term
Define cytokinesis
Definition
Divides cytoplasm
Term
A duplicated chromosome is composed of 2 what?
Definition
Chromatids
Term
What are the 4 stages of mitosis in order?
Definition
  1. Prophase
  2. Metaphase
  3. Anaphase
  4. Telophase
Term
Interphase
Definition
  • Chromosomes are replicated
  • 3 Parts of this phase are G1, S, G2

 

Term
Prophase 1
Definition
  • Chromatids pair up with sister chromatids to form a tetrad.
  • Centrioles appear and begin to move toward opposite ends of the cell
  • Crossing over occurs
  • Spindle fibers form
Term
Metaphase 1
Definition
  • Tetrads line up in the middle of the cell
  • Spindle fibers attach to each of the sister chromatids
Term
Anaphase 1
Definition
  • Tetrads separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell
Term
Telophase 1
Definition
  • 2 Nuclei form
  • Nuclear membrane begins to form
  • Cytoplasm begins to divide
  • All chromosomes are still in the duplicated state

 

Term
Cytokinesis
Definition
  • Cytoplasm divides
  • Cells are diploid
  • Cell are gentically different
  • Protein production is high

 

Term
Prophase 2
Definition
  • Once again centrioles appear and begin to moves towars opposite ends of the cell
  • Spindle fibers form
Term
Metaphase 2
Definition
  • Sister chromatids line up in the middle of the cell
  • Spindle fibers attach to sister chromatids at the centromere

 

Term
Anaphase 2
Definition
Sister chromatids separate & get pulled to opposite ends of the cell
Term
Telophase 2
Definition
  • 2 nuclei form
  • Nuclear membrane forms
  • Cytoplasm begins dividing
Term
Cytokinesis
Definition
  • Cytoplasm divides
  • Cells are haploid
Term
How many pairs of chromosomes do humans have?
Definition
46
Term

Name the phase

Homologous chromosomes line up in the middle in pairs.

Definition
Metaphase
Term

Name the phase

Cell replicates its chromosomes

Definition
Interphase
Term

Name the phase

Homologous chromosomes separate & go to opposite ends of the cell.

Definition
Anaphase
Term

Name the phase

Spinde forms, DNA coils, chromosomes become tetrads, & crossing over may occur.

Definition
Prophase
Term

Name the phase

Events occur in reverse order of prophase. Cell has 1/2 the genetic information, but another cell division occurs so chromosomes are still doubled.

Definition
Telophase
Term
What can cause the cell to lose control? What happens if it does?
Definition
  1. Cells gets too big
  2. Cell dies
