Unit 4: Mitosis and Meiosis

Question 1

Asexual reproduction; one cell → 2 daughter cells

Answer 1

Mitosis

Question 2

Sexual reproduction; one cell → 4 gamete cells

Answer 2

Meiosis

Question 3

Process before meiosis and mitosis where DNA is copied

Answer 3

DNA Replication

Question 4

Part of the cell cycle that includes growth and DNA copying

Answer 4

Interphase

Question 5

DNA condenses, nucleus disappears, centriole makes spindle fibers to assist in moving things.

Answer 5

Prophase

Question 6

Condensed DNA (chromosomes) are lined up in the middle of the cell by spindles.

Answer 6

Metaphase

Question 7

X-shaped chromosomes (each side is a clone) are split to both ends of the cell.

Answer 7

Anaphase

Question 8

Nucleus comes back, DNA starts to de-condense.

Answer 8

Telophase

Question 9

Cell splits

Answer 9

Cytokinesis

Question 10

The idea that during crossing over the genes you inherit are more or less randomized.

Answer 10

Independent Assortment

Question 11

Part of meiosis where your mom DNA and dad DNA shuffle traits to make unique gametes.

Answer 11

Crossing Over

Question 12

Sex cells. Sperm and egg!

Answer 12

Gametes

Question 13

Cell with two sets of chromosomes (one from mom, one from dad)

Answer 13

Diploid Cell

Question 14

Cell with one set of chromosomes (mom+dad genes randomized)

Answer 14

Haploid Cell

Question 15

Disorder where chromosomes don’t split properly, leading to incorrect numbers of chromosomes.

Answer 15

Nondisjunction
