Gap 2

Question 5

Division of somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) in eukaryotic organisms.

Answer 5

Mitosis

Question 6

When the cell is not dividing…
DNA molecules are in extended, uncondensed form =

Answer 6

chromatin

Question 7

chromosomes align along the equator of the cell, with one chromatid facing each pole

Answer 7

Metaphase

Question 8

spindle fibers attached to kinetochores shorten and pull chromatids towards the poles.

Answer 8

Anaphase

Question 9

sister chromatids separate

Answer 9

Anaphase

Question 10

free spindle fibers lengthen and push the poles of the cell apart

Answer 10

Anaphase

Question 11

undergoes cytokinesis by forming a cell plate between the two daughter nuclei.

Answer 11

Plant cells

Question 12

undergoes cytokinesis through the formation of a cleavage furrow. A ring of microtubules contract, pinching the cell in half.

Answer 12

Animal cells

Question 13

Sexually reproducing eukaryotes have two types of body cells

Answer 13

Somatic cells and sex cells{gametes or germline}

Results in mixing of the genes you inherited from your parents.

Answer 25

Crossing over
