Mitosis and Meiosis Flashcards
During what stage of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?
Interphase
Name the phase of mitosis during which separation of sister chromatids occurs.
Anaphase
By what process does the cytoplasm of a human cell separate?
Cytokinesis
Name the phase of mitosis when duplicated chromosomes first appear.
Prophase
What structure forms in plants during cytokinesis?
Cell plate
Where in humans would you expect to find meiosis taking place?
Sex organs
If there are 13 pairs of homologues in a primary spermacycle, how many chromosomes are there in a sperm?
13
What term refers to the production of an egg?
Oogenesis
During which type of gametogenesis would you see polar bodies?
Oogenesis
What do you call chromosomes that look alike and carry genes for the same traits?
Homologues
If homologues are separating, what phase is this?
Anaphase I
If the parental cell has 24 chromosomes, how many does each daughter cell have at the completion of Meiosis II?
