meiosis and mitosis

Question 1

prophase

Answer 1

chromatin supercoils to form chromosomes

Question 2

metaphase

Answer 2

chromosomes align along metaphase plane

Question 3

anaphase

Answer 3

sister chromatids separate and migrate

Question 4

telophase

Answer 4

chromosomes arrive at the poles

Question 5

interphase

Answer 5

dna uncoils and is loose and diffuse

Question 6

synapsis

Answer 6

homologous chromosomes pair (only in meiosis I)

Question 7

chiasma

Answer 7

connections between homologous chromosomes that can result in crossing over

Question 8

crossing over

Answer 8

non sister chromatids exchange genetic info

Question 9

haploid

Answer 9

one set of chromosomes

Question 10

diploid

Answer 10

two sets of chromosomes (humans)

Question 11

meiosis I

Answer 11

homologs pair and seperate

Question 12

meiosis II

Answer 12

same as mitosis

Question 13

meiosis

Answer 13

reductive form of nuclear division
2 nuclear divisions
results in 4 daughter nuclei
makes chromosome count in a diploid organism reduce to haploid state

Question 14

mitosis

Answer 14

conservative form of nuclear division
results in 2 daughter nuclei genetically identical to parent nucleus (clones)

Question 15

cytokinesis

Answer 15

cell division

Question 16

sister chromatids

Answer 16

copied dna that represents two halves of a chromosome and contain identical nucleic acid sequencing
