Q

What happens to the organelles when a eukaryotic cell divides?

A

the daughter cells receive enough of the organelles to start up the new cells and produce additional organelles as needed.

Q

What does ionizing radiation do to cells?

A

It breaks apart chromosomes and alters genes.

22
Q

Why do small doses of ionizing radiation over a long period of time cause less damage than the same amount of radiation in a very short time?

A

the body has time to repair damaged DNA.

23
Q

What is the purpose of irradiating foods?

A

It destroy harmful bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms and limits spoilage.

24
Q

What kinds of cells go through meiosis?

A

germ cells

25
Q

What is the main point of meiosis?

A

each gamete receives one member of each pair of homologous chromosomes, and gametes are formed that are haploid.

26
Q

What does gamete formation mean?

A

the formation of sex cells.

27
Q

What is gametogenesis?

A

the formation of sex cells.

28
Q

Give one advantage of sexual reproduction.

A

results in new combinations of genetic traits.

29
Q

What would happen if meiosis did not occur in sexually reproducing organisms?

A

chromosome number would double in each generation.

30
Q

If a parent cell has 16 chromosomes and undergoes meiosis, each of the resulting cells will have how many chromosomes?

A
  1. 8
31
Q

Homologous chromosomes may swap segments of genetic information during which phase of meiosis?

A

prophase I

32
Q

How many chromatids are in cell in prophase I of spermatogenesis in humans?

A
  1. 92
33
Q

How many cells are produced when one cell goes through meiosis

A
  1. 4 haploid cells.
34
Q

What event begins Anaphase?

A

Anaphase is initiated when the newly divided centromeres begin to move apart.

35
Q

Paired homologous chromosomes are found at the spindle equator during what phase?

A

metaphase I.

36
Q

What happens to the DNA during meiosis II?

A

sister chromatids of each chromosome are separated from each other.

37
Q

Copies of chromosomes linked together at their centromeres at the beginning of meiosis are appropriately called what kind of chromatids?

A

sister

38
Q

What is crossing over?

A

alters the composition of chromosomes and results in new combinations of alleles being channeled into the daughter cells.

39
Q

Intimate contact between homologous chromosomes and crossing over occur during what phase?

A
  1. prophase I.
40
Q

Why is crossing over important?

A

It increases variability in gametes.

41
Q

Pairing of homologues and crossing over occur during what? phase

A

prophase I.

42
Q

What are different, or alternative, forms of the same gene called?

A
  1. alleles.
43
Q

During meiosis in what phase are sister chromatids separated from each other?

A

anaphase II.

44
Q

Under favorable conditions, during which phase of meiosis will the chromosomes appear as packets of four chromatids?

A

prophase I

45
Q

Why is crossing over one of the most important events in meiosis?

A

it produces new arrays of alleles on chromosomes.

46
Q

46) During what phase are maternal and paternal chromosomes shuffled most?

A
  1. metaphase I.
47
Q

During anaphase I, each homologue is separated from its partner. What is this process is called?

A

disjunction.

48
Q

How is genetic variation associated with meiosis manifested?

A

There are new combinations of alleles due to crossing over. There is random movement of homologous pairs of chromosomes moving to spindle poles. random chance playing a role when a sperm fertilizes an egg.

49
Q

In what phase(s) are the events of the cell cycle mainly cytoplasmic, not chromosomal?

A
  1. G1 and G2
50
Q

During which phase of mitosis are the nuclei reformed?

A

telophase

51
Q

In which phase of mitosis are the chromosomes lined up on the equator?

A

metaphase
