Chapter 19 -> Mitosis, Cytokinesis, Meiosis

Question 1

What is Prophase?

Answer 1

Replicated chromosomes condense and mitotic spindle begins to assemble outside of nucleus

Question 2

What occurs during Prometaphase?

Answer 2

Nuclear envelope breaks down, spindle microtubules connect with chromosomes

Question 3

What occurs during Metaphase?

Answer 3

Mitotic spindle gathers all of the chromosomes to the center of the spindle

Question 4

What occurs during Anaphase?

Answer 4

Two sister chromatids split apart, spindle draws them to opposite poles of the cell

Question 5

What occurs during Telophase?

Answer 5

Nuclear envelope reassembles around each of the two sets of chromosomes to form the two nuclei

Question 6

What occurs during cytokinesis?

Answer 6

Cytoplasm divides into 2 aided by contractile ring

Question 7

What are the benefits of sexual reproduction?

Answer 7

Mixing of genomes from two people, competitive advantage

Question 8

Haploid cells are generated when a diploid cell undergoes _______
Here, the chromosomes of the double chromosome set are partitioned out into single chromosomes

Answer 8

Meiosis

Question 9

2 Different haploid gametes fuse to make a _______

Answer 9

Diploid cell/zygote

Question 10

What do germ line cells produce?

Answer 10

Gametes

Question 11

What is meiosis

Answer 11

The duplication of chromosomes followed by TWO cell divisions
