Q

Homologs

A

Are the pair of chromosomes that make a set (homologous pair where they are identical in shape & size & if one gene is found on one homolog then its also found on the other homolog)

Q

What is the process of binary fission?

A
  1. The mother cell duplicates to make more genetic material
  2. Ftz (protein) assembles at the location where the septum will be
  3. Ftz forms the septum which is a cell wall for the two daughter cells
  4. The two daughter cells seperate & the mother cell has made two new daughter cells (They are usuallly identical cause they are copies of the mother cell)

Q

During the ____ phase a cell is grows where it reaches a restriction point & goes to the S phase

24
Q

After the G1 restriction point a cell goes to the ________ where the chromosomes are replicated

25
Q

Chromatids

A

Two identical copies of chromosomes that are formed during the S phase & are joined together at the centromere to form sister chromatids (Dyad)

26
Q

After the ______ phase a cell has twice as many chromatids (chromosomes) than it did in the G2 phase

27
Q

Kinetochore

A

Group of protiens that are on the centromere & help hold the sister chromatids together

28
Q

During the ____ phase a cell gains the material needed for nuclear & cell division

29
Q

After the G2 phase a cell goes to the ____ phase where mitosis occurs

30
Q

During ________ the replicated chromosomes are distrubted & dividing a cell nucleus into two nucleis so that each daughter cell recieves the same verison of the chromosomes

31
Q

A human cell in the G2 phase has 92 chromosomes which has 46 pairs (sets) during ________ those 46 chromosomes are seperated into two nucleis that contain 46 chromosomes each

32
Q

After the M phase the two daughter cells are formed by a process called what?

A

Cytokinesis

33
Q

The _______ organizes & sorts eukaryotic chromosomes

A

Mitotic spindle apparatus (Mitotic spindle)

34
Q

The transmission of chromosomes during the divison of eukaryotic cells involves a process called what?

35
Q

What are the phase in mitosis?

A
  1. Prophase
  2. Prometaphase
  3. Metaphase
  4. Anaphase
  5. Telophase
36
Q

During ___________ the chromatids become condense & more visible

A

Prophase (start of mitosis)

37
Q

After the prophase is __________ where the sister chromatids become attatched to the spindle

A

Prometaphase

38
Q

After the prometaphase is _________ where the sister chromatids align in the middle

39
Q

After metaphase is _______ where the chromatids divide & go to their individual poles at each end of the cell

40
Q

After Anaphase is __________ where the chromatids reach their poles & decondense & two seperate nucleis are formed

41
Q

After telophase is ____________ where the two nuclei are seperated into each daughter cell

A

Cytokensis

42
Q

___________ & ___________ produce two daughter cells having the same number of chromosomes as the mother cell

A

Mitosis & Cytokinesis

43
Q

Diploid cells divide by a process called what?

44
Q

Meiosis

A

A process where haploid cells (cells with only one set of chromosome) are formed

45
Q

Meiosis produces cells that are ________

46
Q

What are the phases of meiosis?

A
  1. Prophase of Meiosis 1
  2. Prometaphase of Meiosis 1
  3. Metaphase of Meiosis 1
  4. Anaphase of Meiosis 1
  5. Telophase of Meiosis 1 & Cytokinesis
  6. Meiosis 2
47
Q

What are the stages of Prophase of Meisosis 1?

A
  1. Leptotene Stage
  2. Zygotene Stage
  3. Pachytene Stage
  4. Diplotene Stage
  5. Diakinesis Stage
48
Q

Leptotene

A

Replicated chromosomes begin to condense & become visble

49
Q

Zygotene Stage

A

Involves synapsis- which the homologous chromosomes recognize each other to align themselves

50
Q

Pachytene Stage

A

The homologs are completely aligned (Bivalent- contains two pairs of sister chromatids(4 chromatids (tetrad))

51
Q

____________ occurs before pachytene stage where it involoves a phyical exchange of chromosomes piecies that results in exchange of genetic information

A

Crossing Over

52
Q

During ______________ the sister chromatids are randomly aligned in a double row

A

Metaphase of Meiosis 1

53
Q

During _____________ the two dyad seperate within the tetrad from each other & goes to opposites poles on the cell

A

Anaphase of Meiosis 1

54
Q

During ______________ & ___________ two new haploid cells formed

A

Telophase of Meiosis 1 & Cytokinesis

55
Q

___________ is similar to Mitosis except mitosis begins with six dyads (12 chromosomes) (chromatids) & in ___________ begins with 6 chromsomes (chromatids) or 3 dyads

56
Q

___________ produces two diploid daughter cells with six chromosomes each (12 chromosomes in total) & ___________ produces two haploid daughter cells with 3 chromsomes each (6 chromosomes in total)

A

Mitosis, Meiosis

57
Q

The cells produced by __________ are genetically identical & the cells produced by __________ are not genetically identical

A

Mitosis, Meiosis
