Q

Is the phase during which the cell is not undergoing division.
- majority of cell’s time
- cells are not dividing
- regular functions (take in nutrients, grow, prepare for cell division

Q

what stage of mitosis, where Paired sister chromatids separate from one another (each is considered a full chromosome) and
Spindle apparatus moves the daughter chromosomes towards the poles at the opposite ends and
At the end, each pole contains a complete set of chromosomes

Q

what stage of mitosis where chromosomes are not visible into distinct new nuclei of daughter cells?

A

telophase

18
Q

what stage of mitosis, where nucleus starts to reappear?

A

telophase

19
Q

In telophase stage, how many cell occurs when cell finally divides?

A

2 cells.

20
Q

-Occurs in sex cells or gametes of sexually matured organisms
- A single (parent) cell divides twice to produce four independent (daughter) cells, each having half the chromosomes as the original cell.
-Reduces the number of chromosomes from diploid to haploid
-Responsible for the production of sex cells in animals & spores in plants

A

Meiosis

21
Q

what are 2 stages of meiosis?

A

meiosis 1 and meiosis 2

22
Q

2 sister chromatids are called?

A

dyad

23
Q

Crossing over occurs between 2 non-sister chromatids along a point called

A

chiasma

24
Q

what stage in meiosis, where Each chromosome is now composed of 2 sister chromatids (dyad) held by centromere and
Synapsis or pairing of homologous chromosomes occurs and
Crossing over occurs between 2 non-sister chromatids along a point called chiasma. The other 2 chromatids remain uncrossed.

A

prophase 1

25
Q

paired homologous chromosome are called?

A

tetrads

26
Q

what stage in meiosis, where Paired homologous chromosomes (tetrads) line up along the metaphase plate or equatorial plate of the cell and
Spindle fibers increase in number. This is the part where the kinetochore of the chromosome attaches to facilitate movement.

A

metaphase 1

27
Q

what stage in meiosis, where Homologous chromosomes (dyads) separate and migrate toward their respective poles?

A

anaphase 1

28
Q

what stage of meiosis, where The 2 daughter cells are completely divided. and An equal amount of chromosomes are found in both cells. and Nuclear envelop and nuclei reappear, the chromosomes become visible

A

telophase 1

29
Q

what it is called the short pause between meiosis 1 and 2? Similar to interphase of mitosis, but there is no replication of the chromosomes

A

interkinesis 1

30
Q

what stage of meiosis, where The nuclear envelope and nucleoli disappear, chromatids start to shorten and thicken. and
The centrioles move to opposite poles, and spindle fibers arrange in preparation for metaphase.

A

prophase 2

31
Q

what stage of meiosis, where The two kinetochores of each centromere bind to spindle fibers from opposite poles.
Chromosomes move to the new equatorial metaphase plate.

A

metaphase 2

32
Q

what stage in meiosis where Centromeres divide, allowing microtubules attached to the kinetochores to pull the sister chromatids apart.
The sister chromatids are now called sister chromosomes as they move toward the opposite poles.

A

anaphase 2

33
Q

what stage of meiosis, where Cleavage furrow produces 2 daughter cells, each with a haploid set of chromosomes.
At the end, 4 new cells with haploid chromosomes are produced

A

telophase 2

34
Q

-Process by which gametes (sex cells) are produced in sexually reproducing organisms.
-This process involves the formation and maturation of haploid cells (sperm and eggs) from diploid precursor cells.

A

Gametogenesis

35
Q

Gametogenesis occurs through

A

meiosis

36
Q

The process of sperm cell production.
Occurs in the testes of males.

A

spermatogenesis

37
Q

in spermatogenesis, how many functional sperm cells from each diploid precursor cell produce?

A

4

38
Q

Continuous and typically begins at puberty, continuing throughout a male’s life.

A

spermatogenesis

39
Q

The process of egg (ova) cell production.
Occurs in the ovaries of females.

A

oogenesis

40
Q

oogenesis produces how many from each diploid precursor cell?

A

1 functional egg cell and 3 polar bodies

41
Q

Begins during fetal development, pauses, and resumes at puberty, continuing until menopause.

A

oogenesis

42
Q

inside the testes are numerous thin and tightly coiled seminiferous tubules with immature cells called?

A

spermatogonia
