  2. Metaphase
  3. Anaphase

35
Q

__ is a carefully controlled process that organizes and separates the chromosomes correctly. After the cells separate the chromosomes and build new nuclei, they divide their cytoplasm by cytokinesis and form two distinct cells.

A

Mitosis

36
Q

The portion of the chromosome centromere to which the mitotic spindle fibers attach.

A

Kinetochore

36
Q
A

Prophase

36
Q
  • Chromatin condenses into duplicated chromosomes consisting of two chromatids attached at centromeres.
  • Chromosomes become shorter and thicker and individually visible under a compound light microscope.
  • Nuclear envelope disappears. The nucleolus shrinks and disappears
  • Spindle microtubules attached to kinetochores and chromosomes move toward midplane.
A

Prophase

37
Q

A specialized region of a chromosome.
At prophase, sister chromatids are joined in the
vicinity where they are located.

A

Centromere

38
Q

Function in chromosome distribution
during mitosis.

A

Microtubules

38
Q

Small, membrane-enclosed sacs

A

Vesicles

39
Q

The structure consisting mainly of microtubules that provides the framework for chromosome movement during cell division

A

Spindle

40
Q
  • The spindle microtubules grow and shrink as they move toward the center of the cell in a “search and capture” process.
  • If a microtubule comes near the centromere of a chromosome, the microtubule “captures” it.
  • As the now-tethered chromosome continues moving toward the cell’s midplane, a spindle microtubule from the cell’s other pole attaches to the opposite side of the centromere.
A

Mitosis: Prophase

41
Q
  • This phase* begins as the sister chromatids separate.*
  • Sister chromatids (now called chromosomes) separates and move to opposite ends of the cell.
  • Ends when all the chromosomes have reached
    the poles
A

Mitosis: Anaphase

41
Q
  • The division of the cytoplasm that usually
    accompanies mitosis, generally begins during
    telophase.
  • Occurs by the formation of a cell plate, a partition
    between the newly formed nuclei in the equatorial
    region of the cell.
  • Forms two daughter cells.
A

Cytokinesis

41
Q
  • Duplicated chromosomes *line up on the midplane of the cell
  • Mitotic spindle is completely visible and composed of numerous microtubules that extend from pole to pole.
  • Each chromatid is quite condensed and appears thick and distinct.
  • Individual chromosomes are more distinct in this phase
A

Mitosis: Metaphase

41
Q
  • The final stage of mitosis in which chromosomes arrive at the poles and return to their interphase condition.
  • The chromosomes begin to elongate by uncoiling and then become invisible chromatin threads
  • Two separate nuclei form.
A

Mitosis: Telophase

41
Q
  • Reproductive cells (egg and sperm cells) which
    have half the diploid number of chromosomes    .
  • Form a complete, new organism by uniting
A

Gametes

41
Q

Reduces the number of chromosomes in reproductive cells by half. It means “to make smaller”

A

Meiosis

41
Q

As a result of ___, each gamete has only one
chromosome of each pair, resulting in an egg or sperm cell with a haploid, or n, number of chromosomes.

A

meiosis

41
Q

A fertilized egg produced upon union of the
female gamete (egg) and the male gamete (sperm
cell).

A

Zygote

42
Q

___ separates the members of each homologous pair of chromosomes. No two offspring of the same parents will be exactly alike

A

Meiosis

42
Q

What are the two cell divisions that meiosis consists of?

A

First and second meiotic
divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II)

43
Q
  • The chromosomes duplicate during the S Phase of Interphase before the complex movements of meiosis actually begin.
  • The homologous chromosomes come
    together to lie side by side lengthwise and synapse, crosing over takes place.
  • A spindle forms consisting of microtubules.
  • The nuclear envelope and nucleolus disappear
  • In cells with large chromosomes, the association of the four chromatids of each
A

Meiosis I: Prophase I

43
Q

Pairing of homologous
chromosomes

A

Synapsis

43
Q
  • The sharing of genetic material between two non-sister chromatids of paired homologous chromosomes
  • Produces new combination of genes.
A

Crossing over

44
Q
  • Homologous chromosomes line up in pairs along the midplane.
  • Both kinetochores of one duplicated chromosome are attached by spindle microtubules to the same pole.
  • Both kinetochores of the duplicated homologous chromosome are attached to the opposite pole
A

Meiosis I: Metaphase I

45
Q
  • The paired homologous chromosomes separate, with one chromosome moving toward one pole and its homologue moving toward the other pole.
  • Sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres.
  • Each pole receives a random combination of maternal and paternal chromosomes, but only one member of each homologous pair is present at each pole.
A

Meiosis I: Anaphase I

46
Q
  • There would be two duplicated chromosomes,
    one of each homologous pair, at each pole.
  • The nuclei often reorganize, the chromatids generally elongate, and cytokinesis may take place.

A

Meiosis II: Anaphase II

49
Q

Main features:
1. The coils of the chromatids (now called

50
Q

Result in four haploid daughter cells, each containing one of each kind of chromosome. Each resulting haploid cell has a different combination of genes.
