Mitosis and Meiosis Quiz Flashcards
What do diploid and haploid contain? Match each with mitosis and meiosis.
Diploid cells have two sets of homologous chromosomes (mitosis). Haploid cells have one set of non-homologous chromosomes (meiosis).
How many daughter cells do mitosis and meiosis each produce?
Mitosis produces two daughter cells, and meiosis produces four
How many chromosomes are in human body cells, sex cells?
In human body cells, there are 46 chromosomes. In sex cells, there are 23 chromosomes.
What causes a cell to start dividing in mitosis?
A cell starts to divide due to its surface area to volume ratio becoming too large as it grows. (This is bad since nutrients can’t reach all the cell when it is too big.)
What are the purposes of mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis is for growth and repair; meiosis is for reproduction.
List the order of mitosis; how is meiosis different?
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase; meiosis is different as the process happens twice
What happens in interphase?
In interphase, a cell prepares to divide by growing, and duplicating its DNA and organelles.
When do chromosomes become visible?
Chromosomes become visible during prophase
What structure moves the chromosomes in mitosis?
Spindle fibers (microtubules) move the chromosomes.
In which stage does cytokinesis occur?
Cytokinesis occurs during telophase.
What is the role of centrioles?
Centrioles organize microtubules (spindle fibers).
