Question 0

Ploidy

Answer 0

of chromosomes

Question 1

4 reasons why eukaryotic reproduction is more complex than prokaryotic

Answer 1

• most of the DNA is packaged as chromosomes in the form of chromatin fibers in nuclei
• eukaryotes have variety of asexual reproduction
• many eukaryotes reproduce sexually with specialized cells called gametes
• some eukaryotes reproduce sexually & asexually (algae, fungi, some Protozoa)

Question 2

4 phases of mitosis

Answer 2

Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase

Question 3

Mitosis

Answer 3

Nuclear division resulting in two nuclei with the same ploidy as parent
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Question 4

Tetrads

Answer 4

2 chromosomes physically associated together during prophase 1 and metaphase 1 of meiosis

Question 5

Meiosis

Answer 5

Nuclear division of diploid eukaryotic cells resulting in four haploid nuclei

Question 6

Haploid

Answer 6

Nucleus with a single copy of each DNA
