Cell Division

Question 1

Genome

Answer 1

All the DNA in a cell

Question 2

Chromosomes

Answer 2

separate DNA molecules that make up the entire genome

Question 3

Homologous Chromsome pairs

Answer 3

two different versions of the same chromosome number

-one from mother and one from father

Question 4

Sister chromatids

Answer 4

identical, attached copies of a single chromosome

-forming dyads

Question 5

dyads

Answer 5

replicated chromosomes containing two sister chromatids that look like an X

Question 6

Kinetochores

Answer 6

proteins on the side of centromeres that help microtubules pull sister chromatids apart during cell division

Question 7

Karyokinesis

Answer 7

division of the nucleus

Question 8

Cytokinesis

Answer 8

physical division of the cytoplasm and cell membrane

Question 9

Parent cell

Answer 9

one parent cell produces two daughter cells after division

Question 10

Ploidy

Answer 10

describes the number of chromosome sets found in the body

-humans are diploid because they contain two sets of chromosomes

Question 11

Sex chromosomes

Answer 11

one pair in the human body and determine sex

Question 12

autosomes

Answer 12

22 pairs int he human body and are nonsex chromosomes

Question 13

Gametes

Answer 13

haploid cells (sperm and eggs)

Question 14

Germ cells

Answer 14

diploid cells that divide by meiosis to produce gametes

Question 15

Gametocyte

Answer 15

eukaryotic germ cells that can either divide to form gametocytes or produce gametes

Question 16

Somatic cells

Answer 16

body cells excluding the gametes

-diploid in humans
