meiosis + mitosis

Question 1

What is meiosis?

Answer 1

cell division that produces sex cells

Question 2

What kind of cells does meiosis produce?

Answer 2

egg + sperm cells (gametes)

Question 3

Diploid meaning:

Answer 3

presence of two complete sets of chromosome in an organisms cells.

Question 4

Haploid meaning:

Answer 4

single set if chromosomes in an organisms cells.

Question 5

somatic cells meaning:

Answer 5

all human body cells except sex cells

Question 6

gametes meaning:

Answer 6

sex cells, (egg and sperm)

Question 7

IN MEIOSIS what happens in interphase?

Answer 7

DNA is replicated

Question 8

IN MEIOSIS what happens in prophase 1

Answer 8

chromosomes cross over each other to prepare to exchange genetic material, nucleus disappears.

Question 9

IN MEIOSIS what happens in metaphase 1?

Answer 9

chromosome pairs line up in middle of cells, microtubules attach to chromosome

Question 10

IN MEIOSIS what happens in anaphase 1?

Answer 10

whole chromosome is separated from chromosome pair (split into chromatids)

Question 11

IN MEIOSIS what happens in telophase 1?

Answer 11

chromosomes are on each side of cell and cell starts to split into two.

Question 12

IN MEIOSIS what happens in Prophase 2?

Answer 12

chromosomes condense

Question 13

IN MEIOSIS what happens in metaphase 2?

Answer 13

chromosome line up in middle of cell with chromatids attached.

Question 14

IN MEIOSIS what happens in anaphase 2?

Answer 14

chromatids separate by microtubules to opposite sides

Question 15

IN MEIOSIS what happens in telophase 2?

Answer 15

nuclear membrane forms and chromosome uncoil.

Question 16

IN MEISOS how many cells are made in the end?

Answer 16

four haploid cells

Question 17

What is MITOSIS?

Answer 17

a phase where a parent cell divides to create two daughter cells

Question 18

Why do cells go through MITOSIS?

Answer 18

growth + repair cells

Question 19

what cells does MITOSIS occur in?

Answer 19

all cells except gametes (sex cells)

Question 20

in MITOSIS what happens in interphase?

Answer 20

DNA is replicated

Question 21

In MITOSIS what happens in prophase?

Answer 21

DNA in chromosomes condense to become more visible

Question 22

In MITOSIS what happens in metaphase?

Answer 22

chromosomes align in middle of cell and microtubules attach

Question 23

in MITOSIS what happens in anaphase?

Answer 23

chromosome are pulled apart by microtubules to opposite sides of cell

Question 24

in MITOSIS what happens in telophase?

Answer 24

nuclear envelopes around new nuclei the chromosomes uncoil

Question 25

in MITOSIS how many cells do we have in the end?

Answer 25

two
