Lecture 17 Flashcards
Cells that have one full set (copy) of all chromosomes are _________
Haploid (N)
Cells that have 2 sets (copies) of all chromosomes are _______
Diploid (2N)
Cells have 3 sets (copies) of all chromosomes are _______.
Triploid (3N)
Cells that 4 have sets of chromosomes are _______.
Tetraploid (4N)
are life cycles a sexual or asexual process?
sexual
what are the two steps of eukaryotic cell divison?
nuclear division and cytoplasmic division
the nuclear division step of eukaryotic cell division includes what processes?
mitosis and meiosis
the cytoplasmic division step of eukaryotic cell division includes what processes?
cytokincaia
Nuclear division resulting in two cells, each with nuclear genetic material identical to the original cell
mitosis
is there a change in chromosome number in mitosis?
no
is there a change in ploidy in mitisos?
no, ploidy remains the same the entire time (2N–> 2N+2N or N–> N+N)
Nuclear division that results in four cells, each with only 1/2 the genetic information of the original cell, and each with a different subset of the genetic material in the original cell.
Meiosis
what is an example of a ploidy change in meiosis
2N–>N+N+N+N
what kind of cells are formed by mitosis?
vegetative cells
Reproductive cells
Spores
gametes
can gametes undergo fertilization
yes
can spores under go fertilization?
no, only mitosis
syngamy
fertilization
what kind of cells are formed by mitosis?
Reproductive cells
Spores
gametes
how many types (styles) of life cycle are there?
3
how do the different types of life cycles differ from each other?
•Differ in timing of meiosis and mitosis.
•Differ in ploidy of free-living stage(s).
(diploid, haploid, both)
