Cell Repro Quiz

Question 1

Why do cells undergo mitosis and meiosis?

Answer 1

To creat identical daughter cells

Question 2

Meiosis

Answer 2

The process of making egg and sperm cells

Question 3

Mitosis

Answer 3

Distributes DNA to each new cell; identical daughter cell

Question 4

Interphase

Answer 4

First
Normal cellular activity occurs, chromosomes are copied prior to prophase. DNA is in chromatin… Looks like spaghetti.
Duplicating

Question 5

Prophase

Answer 5

Nuclear envelope begins to dissolve, leaving the double chromosomes bare. Each separate chromosome is now called a chromatid. These are attached to each other at the centromere.
(crossing over)

Question 6

Metaphase

Answer 6

Chromosomes move to the middle

Question 7

Anaphase

Answer 7

Chromosomes are split by spindles

Question 8

Telophase

Answer 8

New cell wall (w/ plants)

New nuclear envelope

Question 11

Each chromosome has….

prophase

Answer 11

Two chromatids

Question 12

Cross over

Answer 12

Mom and dad chromosomes get tangled together, and trade equal sections of DNA

Question 13
