Q

Cell plate

A

Collection of vesicles which move along microtubules

Q

Meiosis 1

A

Homologues chromosomes pair and then separate

Each daughter nucleus recieves one member from each pair of chromosomes

18
Q

Meiosis 2

A

Results in four haploid daughter cells and each chromatid is now a chromosome

19
Q

Nondisjunction

A

The failure of homologues chromosomes to separate during anaphase 1 or the failure of sister chromatids to separate during anaphase 2

20
Q

ATP

A

A nucleotide composed of the nitrogen-containing base adenosine and 5 carbon ribose sugars

21
Q

Coupled reactions

A

The energy released by an exergonic reaction is used to drive an endogenic reaction`

22
