Term
|
Definition
| a cell that has homologous pairs |
|
|
Term
| What is a homologous pair? |
|
Definition
| 2 chromosomes that have the same kind of genes in the same order |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a micrograph of chromosomes in a cell (it shows the pairs of chromosomes) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a cell that only has one of each chromosome type |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| haploid cell that unites with another haploid cell to form a zygote; used in sexual reproduction |
|
|
Term
| What are the 3 phases of Interphase? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What happens in G1 phase? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What happens in the Synthesis (S) phase? |
|
Definition
| The cell makes copies of the chromosomes |
|
|
Term
| What happens in G2 phase? |
|
Definition
| the cell produces new organelles and molecules for a new cell |
|
|
Term
| After G2 phase, what happens? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What are the phases of Mitosis? |
|
Definition
| Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase |
|
|
Term
| What are the 2 types of gametes? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What happens in prophase? |
|
Definition
| the nucleus dissolves, the chromosomes become visible, and the chromosomes are in sister chromatids, and the spindle fibers form |
|
|
Term
| What happens in Metaphase? |
|
Definition
| the sister chromatids line up in the middle of the cell with the spindle fibers attached to them |
|
|
Term
| What do centrioles do during mitosis? |
|
Definition
| they move to the ends of the cell, form spindle fibers, and separate the sister chromatids |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the phase where the sister chromatids are split and are pulled to opposite ends of the cell |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| it is where a new nuclues forms around the chromosomes, and the cells start to separate |
|
|
Term
| What is the final step of the cell cycle that is the step where the cells are completely separated called? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What is the product of mitosis? |
|
Definition
| 2 daughter cells that are identical |
|
|
Term
| How can you tell the difference between a plant cell and an animal cell exhibiting mitosis? |
|
Definition
| the animal cell will look like it is pinching apart, while a plant cell just forms another cell wall between the two daughter cells |
|
|
Term
| What are the uses of Mitosis? |
|
Definition
| to help the organism grow, to repair damaged or "worn out" cells, and to asexually reproduce |
|
|
Term

Term
| What are the steps to meiosis? |
|
Definition
| Interphase(G1), Interphase (synthesis), Interphase G2, Prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, telophase1 and 1st cytokinesis, then prophase 2, metaphase 2, anaphase 2, and the 2nd telophase and cytokinesis |
|
|
Term
| What happens in Prophase 1 in meiosis? |
|
Definition
| the nucleus breaks down, and sister chromatids are together |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| one of a pair of genes that has the same position on homologous chromosomes, two different genes for the same trait; ex. one gene for blue eyes and 1 gene for brown eyes are alleles |
|
|
Term
| What happens in Metaphase 1 in meiosis? |
|
Definition
| the co-ordinating alleles line up next to each other in the middle of the cell |
|
|
Term
| What happpens in anaphase 1 in meiosis? |
|
Definition
| the alleles separate and then go through telophase and cytokinesis 1 |
|
|
Term
| What happens in prophase 2 in meiosis? |
|
Definition
| the sister chromatids form and the nuclues dissolves |
|
|
Term
| What happens during metaphase 2 in meiosis? |
|
Definition
| the sister chromatids line up in the middle of the cell |
|
|
Term
| What happens during anaphase 2 in meiosis? |
|
Definition
| the sister chromatids separate and move to the poles of the cell |
|
|
Term
| What happens during telophase and cytokinesis 2? |
|
Definition
| the cell is divided and forms 2 haploid cells. |
|
|
Term
| What is the product of meiosis? |
|
Definition
| 4 haploid cells with only one of each chromosome |
