Q

what are the 4 stages of the cell cycle?

A
G1= growth + normal function 
S= copies DNA

25
how does cytokinesis occur in animals?
cytoplasm pinches off
26
how does cytokinesis occur in plant cells?
cell plate
27
what phase of the cell cycle is the cell in for the longest?
interphase
28
describe what a cell looks like in interphase
has a nucleus and nucleolus, normally functioning, and dna is chromotin
29
describe what the cell looks like in prophase
dna condenses and forms visible chromosomes, nucleus breaks down, and SPINDLE fibers form
30
describe a cell in metaphase
chromosomes line up in the middle, centriole splits to the sides
31
describe a cell in anaphase
chromotids separate
32
describe a cell in telophase
chromosomes stretch back to chromatin, 2 nuclei form
33
what is the indent in telophase in an animal cell called
cleavage furrow
34
what are body cells called and are they diploid or haploid
somatic (diploid)
35
what are sex cells called and are they diploid or haploid
gametes (haploid)
36
describe a diploid cell
``` -2n they have 2 copies of every chromosome one chromo comes from each parent 2n=46 ALL IDENTICAL ```
37
describe a haploid cell
-n cells have 1 copy of every chromo n=23 GENETICALLY DIFFERENT
38
how is chromo number restored
through fertilization
39
how many auto some/ sex chromo r in gametes
22 autosomes and 1 sex chromo
40
how many chrom r found in somatic
46 (23 pairs)
41
what is a homologous pair of chromosomes
chromo have the same structure
42
what is autosomal
the traits found on chromo pairs 1-22 (normal traits)
43
which pair is the sex chromo
23rd
44
what do f/m chromo look like
f=xx | m=xy
45
what is a pic of a chromo
karyotype
46
what kind of cells does mitosis start from/make
diploid>diploid
47
what kind of cells does meiosis start from/make
diploid>haploid
48
how does meiosis divide dna
it goes through 2 rounds of cell division but only 1 round of dna replication
49
what is the outcome of meiosis
``` starts= 1 diploid (2n) ends= 4 haploid (n) ```
50
what does meiosis reduce and create
meiosis reduces chromosome number and creates genetic diversity
51
what is it called when the chromosomes line up in a disorganized way
independent assortment
52
what phases involve meiosis one
prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, telophase/cytokinesis 1
53
during meiosis one what separates
homologous pairs
54
during meiosis 2 what separates
sister chromatids
55
what does crossing over allow for
The exchange of genetic material
56
when does the cell go through interphase 1
before meiosis 1
57
describe what happens in prophase 1
chromo form tetrad/pair up *SYNAPSIS* crossing over occurs chromo coil and the nucleus breaks down
58
what happened in metaphase 1
spindle fibers form | homo chromo line up in the center
59
anaphase 1
homo chromo separate towards opp. ends | independent assortment takes place
60
telophase/cytokinesis 1
2 new nuclei reform | 2 new cells
61
what step doesn’t happen on meiosis 2
interphase
62
prophase 2
chromo become visible | nucleus breaks down
63
metaphase 2
chromosomes line up in the center
64
anaphase 2
chromatids seperate
65
telophase/ cytokinesis 2
4 daughter cells produced (haploid cells)
66
what is the production of gametes
gametogenesis
