Q

Summarize the process!

A

Gametes are haploid cells (haploid sperm and haploid egg) , unie during fertilization, create diploid cell called zygote, which grows by mitosis into new offspring

21
Q

Meiosis I

A

Separation of homologous pairs

22
Q

Meiosis II

A

Daughter cells from Meiosis I, s

23
Q

Crossing Over

A
  • Occurs in prophase I
  • Increases amount of genetic variation
24
Q

Genome

A

Cell’s complete complement of DNA

25
Q

Nucleus

A

Holds DNA

25
Q

Cancer is caused by

A

Uncontrolled cell division or mitosis

26
Q

G0 phase

A

inactive state, not preparing to divide

27
Q

Daughter cells must be identical to parent cells otherwise

A

Mistakes in the duplication or distribution of the chromosomes will cause mutation

28
Q

Cell cycle checkpoints

A

To prevent a compromised cell from continuing to divide

29
Q

Recombinant Sister Chromatid

A

Combination of maternal and paternal genes that did not exist before the crossover

30

Meiosis - four haploid

36
Q

Euploid

A

22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes.

A

G2

38
Q

Which of the following is one way that mitosis and meiosis are similar?

A

Both are preceded by DNA replicated in S phase

39
Q

Which process is accomplished via a cleavage furrow?

A

Cytokinesis in animal cells

40
Q

Which of the following can result from uncontrolled, unregulated cell division by mitosis?

A

A neoplasm

41
Q

Which of the following may result from nondisjunction?

A

A trisomy

42
Q

Which stage of meiosis does crossing over occur in, and what is the result of the crossing over process?

A

Prophase I - recombinant chromosomes

43
Q

Which of the following increases genetic diversity in sexual reproduction?

A

The fusion of two haploid gametes

44
Q

Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between meiosis and sexual reproduction?

A

Meiosis produces haploid gametes which are necessary for sexual reproduction to occur.

45
Q

In which phase of the cell cycle does cytokinesis occur?

A

M - Mitotic

46
Q

In which of the following processes does a cell plate form?

A

Cytokinesis - plant cell

47
Q

In which stage of meiosis are the homologous chromosomes separated?

A

Anaphase I

48
Q

Which of the following describes homologous chromosomes?

A

They have the same genes at the same loci, but can contain different alleles
