31
Q

it forms in each sister chromatid at the centromere

A

kinetochore

32
Q

it binds to the kinetochores

A

Kinetochore microtubules

33
Q

it overlap those from the opposite spindle pole

A

Nonkinetochore microtubules

34
Q

it is the mitotic phase in which spindle microtubules move the chromosomes into alignment at the spindle midpoint

35
Q

it is the spindle midpoint

A

Metaphase plate/Equatorial plane

36
Q

it is the mitotic phase where the spindle separates sister chromatids and pulls them toward opposite spindle poles

37
Q

it is the mitotic phase where the spindle disassembles and the nucleolus reappears and a new nuclear envelope forms where the cell has 2 nuclei

38
Q

it is the mitotic phase in which it produces two daughter cells

A

Cytokinesis

39
Q

3 key checkpoints of the cell cycle

A

1.G1/s
2. G2/M
3. Mitotic spindle checkpoint

40
Q

it is the signals to dtop

A

checkpoints

41
Q

it is the checkpoint where it checks the DNA

A

G1/s Checkpoint

42
Q

it is the checkpoint to ensure that the copying of DNA is correct

43
Q

it is the checkpoint to check if the chromosomes are properly attached

A

Mitotic spindle checkpoint

44
Q

it triggers different phases

45
Q

cyclin for G1 phase
cyclin for s phase
cyclin for G2 phase
cyclin for mitosis

A

1.Cyclin D
2. Cyclin E
3. Cyclin A
4. Cyclin B

46
Q

it is caused by continuous uncontrolled cell division

47
Q

it is a growing mass

48
Q

it is the spreading of cancer cells

A

Metastasis

49
Q

it is the mutated form of the genes

50
Q

female gametes

51
Q

male gametes

A

Sperm Cells

52
Q

at fertilization, the nuclei of an egg and sperm cell fuse, producing a

53
Q

it is the primary sex organs

54
Q

Male gonads

55
Q

Female Gonads

56
Q

it is the creation of gametes

A

Gametogenesis

57
Q

True or False. Meiosis divides 3 times

A

False, 2 Times

58
Q

it is the exchange of DNA in Meiosis

A

Crossing-over

59
Q

it is the version of a gene

60
Q

it is 4 sisters chromatids

61
Q

it is the phase where crossing-over happens

A

Prophase I

62
Q

it is the forming of tetrads

63
Q

it is the sites where crossing-over occured

64
Q

True or False. In Anaphase I the sister chromatids would separate and move to the opposite poles

A

False. Anaphase II

65
Q

True or False. In meiosis II the cells are still intact after Telophase I

A

False. The chromosome counting would be per cell

66
Q

How many cells would be produced after Telophase II and Cytokinesis ?

67
Q

True or False. Syanapsis occurs in Meiosis

68
Q

True or False. There are only 1 cell division for Mitosis and 2 cell division for Meiosis

69
Q

True or False. Crossing-over occurs in Mitosis

70
Q

True or False. the number of daughter cells in Meiosis is 2 and 4 daughter cells for Mitosis

A

False. 2 for Mitosis and 4 for Meiosis

71
Q

it is the reason for genetic diversity

72
Q

what are the 3 sources of variability of Meiosis

A
  1. Crossing-over
  2. Independent assortment
  3. particular sets of male and female gametes that united in fertilization
73
Q

the processes of formation of male and female gametes

A

Oogenesis for Female
Spermatogenesis for Male

74
Q
