Q

cell cycle

A

events that take place from the beginning of one cell division to the next
- 2 phases

17
Q

what are the two major phases of the cell cycle

A

interphase and mitotic (M) phase

18
Q

M phase

A

nucleus divides in mitosis and the cytoplasm divides in cytokinesis

19
Q

diploid cell

A

2n
- four chromosomes
- two pairs of homologous chromosomes

20
Q

homologous chromosomes

A
  • same length
  • same centromere position
  • contain genes for the same characters
21
Q

centrosome

A

granular region that contains a pair of centrioles
- organizing center for microtubules in animal cells

22
Q

sister chromatid

A

each strand of duplicated chromosomes
- identical to each other
- held together most tightly at the centromere

23
Q

what are the 5 stages of mitosis

A

prophase
prometaphase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase

24
Q

spindle

A

fibrous round structure tapering toward each end centrioles

25
Q

blastulas

A

early embryonic stage
- cells will be dividing at any given time

26
Q

what forms a diploid zygote in meiosis

A

fused nuclei

27
Q

what does a zygote develop into

A

rounded structure called perithecium
- contains structures called asci

28
Q

non-recombinants

A

produced from cells in which no crossing over occurred

29
Q

recombinants

A

asci result from cells in which crossing over has occurred
- measure of how often crossing over occurs

30
Q

map unit

A

cannot see genes, but due to relationship between distance and recombinant frequency, can describe distance of gene from centromere

31
Q

how is map distance calculated

A

taking % recombinant frequency for the asci and divide by 2
- % recombinants=map units

32
Q

what counts as one chromosome

A

when two sister chromatids still stick together

33
Q

when are haploid cells obtained in meiosis

A

at the end meiosis I
