a. 23 chromosomes
b. 23 pairs of chromosomes
c. 46 chromosomes
d. 46 pairs of chromosomes
e. both A and D

F
List the three stages of the cell cycle in the proper order.
interphase —-> mitosis —-> cytokinesis
List the four phases of mitosis in the proper order.
In which phase of mitosis would you not find sister
chromatids?
a. prophase
b. anaphase
c. metaphase
d. telophase
Telophase
mitosis begins after sister chromatids are formed. But by telophase (last), they aren’t chromatids, they are new chromosomes.
When is a cell’s genetic material duplicated?
a. during prophase
b. during mitosis
c. during interphase
d. during cytokinesis
C. Interphase
very first step in cycle is copy genetic material
What happens during cytokinesis?
Each daughter cell gets its organelles and the cytoplasm splits creating two new daughter cells
List three possible functions of mitosis.
1) renewal and repair ( for example when Ur finger cuts)
2)cell division (growth), making multicellular organism which is developed from a single cell Zygote
3) cell division:
and the result of Mitosis should be 2 genetically identical daughter cells. each daughter cells receive an exact copy of the genetic material DNA.
4) replacing the cells that die from normal wear and tear or accident.
(True or False) Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are different from both the mother and the father.
False.
Does regeneration always result in the formation of a new organism? Explain your answer.
No. Sometimes it makes new organism, other times it just repairs or replaces body parts
Gametes are produced by
a. mitosis
b. meiosis
c. respiration
d. asexual reproduction
Meiosis
Gametes are cells with single chromosomes looking to mate with another chromosome.
The combining of gametes to form a diploid zygote is called __________.
Fertilization
Give a good example of an essential body function (like cell growth) that can be harmful.
Hint: this disease is caused by damage to the DNA code.
Cancer
The cells of a cancer victim keep dividing over and over again, copying the damaged code.
Explain the relationship between genes and chromosomes:
Chromosomes are full of genes. Genes are like blueprints, and chromosomes are like file cabinets holding blueprints.
What’s the difference between a haploid and a diploid chromosome number?
Diploid has pairs of chromosomes. Haploids have single strands of chromosomes,
Describe the three stages of the cell cycle.
Interphase: cell performs normal functions, grows and makes new genetic material. Also the longest phase of cycle
Mitosis: when cell creates two nucleus, copies chromosomes and prepares to split. Prophase creates sister chromatids. Metaphase the chromatids are in Xs in a straight line. Anaphase, creates sister chromatids and start to pull apart. Telophase chromosomes are split far apart and two nucleus membranes form. Original nucleus has a copy.
Cytokinesis: cytoplasm pinches and splits, identical daughter cell created,
Name and describe the four phases of mitosis in order.
Prophase creates sister chromatids.
Metaphase the chromatids are in Xs in a straight line.
Anaphase, creates sister chromatids and start to pull apart.
Telophase chromosomes are split far apart and two nucleus membranes form. Original nucleus has a copy.
Compare the similarities and differences of asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.
?
The cell’s blueprints are called ______. They contain the information needed to build everything about a cells and the cell products. They also contain information for producing an organism’s visible traits, such as eye color and hair color.
Genes
Think of an office building that has blueprints to build something.
Room where computers stored =
Computers that store blueprints =
Blueprints =
Room where computers stored = nucleus
Computers that store blueprints = chromosomes
Blueprints = genes (DNA)
True or False: All chromosomes have the same number of genes.
False
Some chromosomes have just a few genes and are short, while others have many genes and are long
True or False: Each cell of an organism usually contains a complete set of all the organism’s chromosomes.
True
True or False: All animals have the same number of chromosomes as other animals?
False
The chromosome number of different organisms may vary greatly…. But, the cells of each organism usually has same # of chromosomes. ie all humans normally have 46 chromosomes in EACH cell
This number tells you how many TOTAL chromosomes an organism has in each cell:
Chromosome number
True or False: Each chromosome has its own purpose. So each chromosome has the same genes in them?
True
Chromosome pair #10 could determine eye color. Both chromosomes have same genes, but could have different codes. (Mommy has brown and blue genes, daddy only has blue. You got blue)
What is “cell division”?
one cell (the parent cell) divides to produce two new cells (daughter cells)
Parent cell Splits Daughter cells
( . ) —-> ( | ) —–> ( . )( . )
A cell goes through three stages before it can as divide into two new cells. What are the three stages?
interphase
mitosis
cytokinesis
What is the first stage of cell division, and what happens?
interphase
A fuzzy copy of chromosomes and genes are created (blueprints make a new copy of blueprints)
When all the genes of a chromosome have been duplicated during INTERPHASE, the two identical chromosome strands are called?
Sister chromatids
Parent same cell
Chromosomes with chromatids
|| ) ————-> ( || { {
True or false: Mitosis only occurs in eukaryotic cells
True
They must have a nucleus with a membrane
What is a healthy human’s chromosome number?
How many pairs of chromosomes does each cell in a human have? Why are they in pairs?
(See photo of karyotype)
46
23
Chromosomes are in pairs. Each pair has one from the father, one from the mother…
Which stage does a cell spend most of its time in the cell cycle?
Interphase (the first phase)
What is a picture of all of a cell’s chromosomes called?
Karyotype
Mitosis has four stages:
See photo
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
What is the second stage of cell division? What happens?
Mitosis
A new nucleus is formed, and the cells parent chromosomes are turned into two new pairs of chromosomes.
True or False:
Mitosis begins AFTER the sister chromatids have formed
True. (That happens in stage 1)
This second step in Mitosis is when all the sister chromatids are lined up at the center of the spindle.
Metaphase
This fourth (last) step of Mitosis, the daughter chromosomes reach the ends of the spindle and begin to uncoil. As they uncoil, the spindle disappears and new nuclear membranes form around each group of chromosomes. This results in two new nuclei, each containing a complete copy of the cell’s chromosomes.
Telophase
Essay: describe Cell Division and what happens in each phase:
Interphase: cell grows in size, produces proteins, and makes copies of its chromosomes.
Mitosis: divides copied chromosomes into two equal sets
Cytokinesis: cytoplasm is divided, resulting in two new daughter cells
What is the last stage in the cell cycle?
Cytokinesis (CYTOplasm splits)
Which stage in the cell cycle do the new daughter cell gets their cytoplasm and organelles.
Cytokenisis
After all the organelles are made and cytoplasm splits, does it matter if one daughter cell gets more “stuff” than the other? the cell splits
No. Both new cells have same genes to make any new parts they need
What is the purpose of mitosis (also known as mitotic cell division)?
to ensure that each new daughter cell has genes identical to those in the original parent cell.
True or False: Multicellular organisms replace dead or wornout cells by mitotic cell division
True.
Some unicellular organisms use Mitosis to reproduce. (No partner needed). In eukaryotic organisms, reproduction by mitotic cell division is called ______ _______.
Asexual reproduction
An amoeba is a unicellular organism. How does it reproduce every 3 days (make more amoebas)?
Asexual reproduction
Which type of reproduction do the offspring look EXACTLY like its parent?
Asexual reproduction
One type of asexual reproduction (yeast) goes through mitosis and then a small bulge (bud) forms into an identical cell..
Budding
The process of regrowing missing body parts is called _____? Its done to repair or to reproduce.
Regeneration
After some cells conduct mitosis, these new cells covered by a protective covering are released… Like bread mold
Spores
List three types of asexual reproduction:
- Budding (yeast)
- Regeneration (planarians, NOT starfish)
- Spores (mold)
This type of reproduction occurs when two organisms each give one complete copy of their genes to form a new organism.
Sexual reproduction
The copies of genetic information used during sexual reproduction are divided during a process called meiosis.
Meiosis
True or False: Meiosis involves two cell divisions, whereas mitosis only has one.
(See meiosis photo)
True
Genetic material is doubled before meiosis, just as it is before mitosis. However, meiosis adds another step—the two new daughter cells separate their chromosomes into single copies. (Because offspring inky needs one chromosome from each parent)
When meiosis is completed, there are four new daughter cells, each with just one copy of the genes. These special reproductive cells are called ______?
Gametes
A cell that has only ONE of each chromosome has half the number of chromosomes that diploid cells have:
Haploid cell
How many chromosomes do diploids have:
Haploids?
46
23
What is the function of a gamete cell?
Reproduction
In most organisms, meiosis produces one of two types of gametes. (Male and female)
Eggs or Sperm
How many chromosomes does a male gamete have (sperm)?
How many chromosomes does a male gamete have (egg)?
23
When two gametes combine it is called?
Fertilization
This occurs when two haploid gametes (one egg and one sperm) unite and form a diploid cell.
Fertilization
The diploid cell that results from fertilization is called a
Zygote
What is different about the offspring made through asexual and sexual reproduction
Asexual: offspring is identical to parent
Sexual: offspring has variety
These are formed during the prophase step of Mitosis… They move the chromosomes apart in later phases
Spindle
How are mitosis and meiosis different in these areas:
number of cell divisions
type of cell produced
genetic makeup of the offspring
number of cell divisions: 2
type of cell produced: diploid vs haploid
genetic makeup of the offspring: identical vs variety
This is the first step in Mitosis:
the membrane around the nucleus disappears and the chromosomes begin to coil up. When they coil, they no longer look like a fuzzy mass. Instead, they are visible as individual chromosomes.
Prophase
During this 3rd step of Mitosis, each pair of sister chromatids separates into two chromosomes. These daughter chromosomes then move along the spindle fibers to opposite ends of the cell.
Anaphase
