Crossword CPA #10

Question 1

group of organisms that are chemotrophic, have cell walls, and do not perform photosynthesis

Answer 1

fungi

Question 2

formed by microtubules and are used to pull chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell; originate from centrioles in the centrosome

Answer 2

spindle

Question 3

these two make up the “x” shape of chromosomes during prophase and metaphase

Answer 3

sister chromatids

Question 4

arachnids that are not disease vectors

Answer 4

spiders

Question 5

ie sperm and eggs

Answer 5

gametes

Question 6

acronym to remember the order of the phases your non-gamete cells must undergo during cell replication and division

Answer 6

I-PMAT-C

Question 7

most important arachnid vector

Answer 7

ticks

Question 8

resting stage of protozoa

Answer 8

cysts

Question 9

includes arachnids and insects that can transmit disease to humans

Answer 9

arthropod vectors

Question 10

holds two sister chromatids together to form a chromosome

Answer 10

centromere

Question 11

most important arthropod and and insect disease carrier

Answer 11

mosquitos

Question 12

type of eukaryotic division that results in gametes

Answer 12

mitosis

Question 13

type of cells that form at the end of meiosis

Answer 13

haploid

Question 14

can perform photosynthesis and usually live in the photic zone of bodies of water

Answer 14

algae

Question 15

ie. chromosome 21 from mom and chromosome 21 from dad that are both inherited by child

Answer 15

homologous pair

Question 16

study of algae

Answer 16

phycology

Question 17

these are lined up side-by-side during metaphase of meiosis; aka a tetrad

Answer 17

homologous chromosome

Question 18

ie. ticks, mites, etc; adults have 4 pairs of legs

Answer 18

arachninds

Question 19

phase before mitosis or meiosis in which a cell grows and replicates their DNA in preparation to undergo mitosis or meiosis

Answer 19

interphase

Question 20

many algae reproduce using this process; process results in haploid and diploid adults that can both reproduce to form gametes

Answer 20

alternation of generation

Question 21

ie. an organism that can pass the disease to a human and is a host for the disease too

Answer 21

biological vector

phase of mitosis in which chromosomes line up in the center of the cell

Answer 22

metaphase

Question 23

study of fungi

Answer 23

mycology

Question 24

about 30% of fungi can cause these

Answer 24

mycoses

Question 25

ie. fleas, lice, flies, mosquitos, etc; adults have 3 pairs of legs and 3 body regions

Answer 25

insects

Question 26

phase of mitosis in which sister chromatids separate to opposite sides of the cell

Answer 26

anaphase

Question 27

phase of mitosis in which chromatids become visible, nuclear envelope dissolves and spindle forms

Answer 27

prophase

Question 28

type of eukaryotic division that results in a daughter cell that is identical to the parent cell

Answer 28

meiosis

Question 29

phase that may occur after mitosis in which the cytoplasm divides and the cell physically separates into 2 cells

Answer 29

cytokinesis

can reproduce sexually, asexually, or both

Answer 30

eukaryotes

Question 31

a group of microorganisms that are eukaryotic, unicellular, mostly lack a cell wall and are usually motile

Answer 31

protozoa

Question 32

areas with centrioles in the cell; located on either side of the cell during mitosis and this is where the spindle comes out from

Answer 32

centrosome

Question 33

condensed and compact chromosome form

Answer 33

chromatin

Question 34

ie. an organism that can pass the disease to a human, but is NOT a host for the disease

Answer 34

mechanical vector

Question 35

only occurs in meiosis; exchange of chromosome pieces that creates the variety of sperm/egg cells one individual can make

Answer 35

crossing over

Question 36

motile feeding stage of protozoa

Answer 36

trophozoite

Question 37

during prophase and metaphase of mitosis; these are “x” shaped because they are made of 2 attached sister chromatids, but during anaphase and telophase of mitosis these are still called the same term even though the 2 sister chromatids have separated

Answer 37

chromosomes

Question 38

phase of mitosis in which the nuclear envelope reforms

Answer 38

telophase

Question 39

type of cells that form at the end of mitosis

Answer 39
