Q

Which cells reproduce through Mitosis and what cells reproduce through Meiosis?

Q

What is the function of Mitosis? What does it produce?

A

Growing and repairing cells, and asexual reproduction. It produces two identical daughter cells from a single-parent cell

Q

What happens during Anaphase & Telophase?

A

Anaphase - Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell
Telophase - Nuclear envelopes reform around the two sets of chromosomes

16
Q

What is the function of Meiosis? What does it produce?

A

Meiosis is used for sexual reproduction and produces gametes

17
Q

What happens during Meiosis 1?

A

Homologous chromosomes are separated

18
Q

What happens during Prophase 1?

A

Homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material by crossing over

19
Q

What happens during Metaphase 1?

A

Paired chromosomes align at the equatorial plane

20
Q

What happens during Anaphase 1?

A

Homologous chromosomes are pulled apart

21
Q

What happens during Telophase 1?

A

The cell divides into two haploid cells

22
Q

What happens in Meiosis II and Cytokinesis?

A

Meiosis II - Sister chromatids are separated
Cytokinesis - Occurs after Meiosis II, which results in four haploid cells being formed

23
Q

What is the chromosome number for Meiosis?

A

If the parent cell is diploid (2n), the daughter cells are haploid (n)

24
Q

What is the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?

A

Mitosis - Produces 2 identical cells for growth and repair
Meiosis - Produces 4 genetically diverse gametes for sexual reproduction

25
Q

What is the function of cytoplasm?

A

Stores molecules used for cellular processes and protect internal components of cells

26
Q

What is the function of the Mitochondria?

A

Generate the energy necessary to power cells

27
Q

What is the function of the Lysosome?

A

Break down excess or worn-out cell parts

28
Q

What is the function of the Smooth and Rough ER?

A

Smooth - Helps synthesize various substances needed by the cell
Rough - Produces proteins for the rest of the cell to function

29
Q

What is the function of the cell membrane?

A

Regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell

30
Q

What is the function of the nucleus?

A

Controls the activities of the cell and carries the genes

31
Q

What is the function of the Ribosome?

A

Making proteins

32
Q

What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus?

A

Prepares, modifies, and sorts proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum

33
Q

What is Pollination?

A

The act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma.

34
Q

What is fertilization?

A

When pollen travels down the pistil of the flower and reaches the egg cell in the ovary

35
Q

What are Xylem and Phloem?

A

Xylem - A vascular tissue that transports water throughout a plant’s body

Phloem - A vascular tissue that transports and distributes organic nutrients such as sucrose and amino acids

36
Q

What is Photosynthesis?

A

How plants use water, carbon dioxide, and energy from sunlight to create glucose and oxygen

37
Q

What is the difference between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic?

A

Eukaryotic - Has a nucleus, membrane and is multicellular Prokaryotic - Do not have a membrane-bound nuclei and are unicellular

38
Q

What happens during Interphase?

A

DNA is replicated while the cell is not growing and is actively growing.
