Q

Continuity-Mitosis
-2 genetically _____ daughter cells
-2n
-All cells have an identical and ________ copy of the ________.
-In asexual reproduction, the full genome is passed _______________.

A

identical, diploid, complete, genome, to the offspring

22
Q

Meiosis-Change
-Gametes (4 cells)
-_____ (n)
-genetically unique (variation)
-Random assortment of genes
-half of _______

A

haploid, chromosomes

23
Q

Prerequisite for Mitosis/Meiosis

A

—> Prior to cell division, DNA is elongated
—> DNA replicates and condenses into chromosomes

24
Q

View diagram: before replication, after replication, after anaphase

25
Kinetochore acts as a _______ motor
Microtubule
26
Interphase (not a phase in Mitosis)
- DNA (in chromatin form) - Growth (normal cell function) - Synthesis (replication) of DNA
27
Prophase:
- Chromosomes condense - Spindle microtubules assemble - Break down of nuclear membrane
28
Metaphase:
- Middle line up of chromosomes - Microtubules attach to centromeres
29
Anaphase:
- Cohesin loops are cut - Tension from the spindle pulls sister chromatids apart - Chromosomes move towards the pole
30
Telophase:
- 2 new nuclei - New nuclear membranes form - Chromosomes decondense back into chromatin - Happens simultaneously with cytokinesis
31
Microscope Slides:
- use a root tip (lots of mitosis) - Cuts and stain - Squash under a slide - Identify
32
Meiosis as a ________ division. ________ chromosomes
reduction
33
Anaphase I
separation of homologous chromosomes
34
Anaphase II
Separation of sister chromatids
35
Normal Meiosis results in 4 _____ _____ ___.
haploid, daughter, cells
36
Nondisjunction: - Results in ______ with too many or ___ ____ chromosomes - Usually results in ___ ______. Occurs in _____.
failure of the chromosomes to separate; - gametes, too few, cell death, Meiosis 1 and Meiosis II.
37
Down syndrome is a result of
Trisomy 21
38
Diploid
-Diploid -2n (pairs) -somatic/body cells -Produced by Mitosis/ or infertilization the fusion of 2 haploid cells
39
Haploid
-n (not in pairs) -gametes -Meiosis
40
Bivalent
a pair of homologous chromosomes
41
Synapsis
the fusion of chromosome pairs at the start of meiosis.
42
Chiasma
point of crossing over
43
Crossing over
exchange of alleles between nonsister chromatids of homologous chromosomes
44
of _____ and amount of genetic exchange seems to be ____
chiasma, random
45
Meiosis
Prophase 1 -crossing over Metaphase 1 -homologous pairs align on the equator Anaphase 1 -separation of homologous pairs Telophase 1/Cytokinesis -ends with 2 haploid cells
46
Meiosis II
Metaphase II -chromosomes align in the center Anaphase II -sister chromatids separate Telophase II/Cytokinesis -ends with 4 haploid cells
47
Identify, between which of the following structures does crossing over occur.
Between non-identical sister chromatids in a homologous pair.
48
_______ control the cell cycle by activating cyclin-dependent kinases.
Cyclins
49
Identify which of the following groups of cells is likely to have the lowest mitotic index.
neurons in the brain (mitotic index measures cells that are actively dividing; there is low cell proliferation in the brain)
