30
Q

Each chromosome has 2 strands called _______.

A

Sister chromosomes

31
Q

What are the sister chromosomes held together at?

A

The centromere

32
Q

What are the 5 stages of Mitosis?

A

1) Prophase
2) Metaphase
3) Anaphase
4) Telophase
5) Cytokinesis

33
Q

What happens in prophase?

A

1) 2 copies of each chromosome coil into chromatids

2) Nuclear membrane disappears

34
Q

What happens in Metaphase?

A

1) Chromosomes line up in the middle

2) Spindle fiber attach to chromatids from the centrioles

35
Q

What happens in Anaphase?

A

1) Spindle fibers shorten

2) Chromatids pulled to opposite sides

36
Q

What happens in Telophase?

A

1) Reach opposite ends
2) Nuclear membrane re-forms
3) Spindle fibers disappear

37
Q

What happens in cytokinesis?

A

1) Cell membrane pinches inward and together

38
Q

When does Cytokinesis begin?

A

During telophase

39
Q

What protein tubes form between the centrioles?

A

Spindle fibers

40
Q

In what phase is the best time to study chromosomes?

A

Metaphase

41
Q

Why is metaphase the best time to study chromosomes?

A

They are lined up & organized

42
Q

What must be formed so plant cells can do cytokinesis?

A

A plate

43

44
Q

Humans have 46 chromosomes with ___ pairs of homologs

A

23

45
Q

A human gamete has only ___ chromosomes

A

23

46

47
Q

Meisis requires how many successive cell divisions?

A

2

48

Q

Chromosomes lie next to eachother forming a ______.

A

Tetrad

50
Q

Why is meiosis 1 the “Reduction Division”?

A

It reduces the number of chromosomes rom the diploid to the haploid number.

Why is meiosis 2 different from meiosis 1?

A

In meiosis 2 DNA is NOT replicated

52

Meiosis in male cells result in ___ cells that change into sperm

A

4

53
Q

What is different about meiosis in female cells?

Genetics

57
Q

How are traits transmitted?

A

Chromosomes

58
Q

What are the units of heredity called?

A

Q

What is a gene that masks the other gene in a pair called?

A

Dominant

60
Q

What is a gene that is hidden in the F1 generation called?

A

Recessive

61
Q

What is homozygous?

A

When 2 genes are identical

62
Q

What is homozygous dominant?

A

When 2 genes are both dominant

63
Q

What is homozygous recessive?

A

When 2 genes are both recessive

64
Q

What is heterozygous?

A

When an individual has a dominant gene and a recessive

65
Q

What is the principal of segregation?

A

Members of each pair of genes separate when gametes are formen

66
Q

When does the principal of segregation happen?

A

Anaphase 1 of Meiosis

67
