Cell Cycle
This is the first stage of interphase where a cell grows.
What is G1?
This is the stage in which chromatids are pulled apart by the mitotic spindle.
What is anaphase?
This is the number of divisions that cells undergoing meiosis go through
What is 2 divisions? (meiosis I and II)
This is the name for the cells produced by meiosis (sperm and egg cells)
What are gametes?
This is the name for the checkpoint in which the cell checks if chromosomes have lined up properly in metaphase
M checkpoint or mitosis checkpoint
This is the stage in which cytokinesis is simultaneously occurring.
This is the number of chromosomes in a haploid cell of an organism with a diploid number (2n) of 24.
What is 12 chromosomes?
This is how bacteria and some other organisms reproduce. This form of reproduction does not produce genetic diversity.
What is asexual reproduction?
This is the process of dividing the organelles and cytoplasm at the end of M phase.
What is cytokinesis?
This is what reforms around the chromosomes (which are de-condensing) during telophase.
What is the nuclear envelope?
These are the structures that separate during anaphase I.
What are pairs of homologous chromosomes?
This is the stage of meiosis (either meiosis I or meiosis II) where cells go from being diploid to haploid.
What is meiosis I?
This is the state cells go into if they do not pass a checkpoint.
What is G0?
This is the phase in which the mitotic spindle begins to form.
What is prophase?
This is what happens between meiosis I and meiosis II
What is a short interphase?
This is the number of chromatids in a cell with the diploid number (2n) of 8 in metaphase of mitosis.
What is 16 chromatids?
These are the things that need to happen in a cell before it is ready to enter M phase/exit interphase.
Grow, duplicate organelles, copy DNA during S phase, check DNA for errors/pass S checkpoint, grow a little more.
This is the way plant cells perform cytokinesis.
What is the formation of a cell plate that will eventually form a cell wall separating the two daughter cells?
What are crossing over, independent assortment, and random selection of mates or of gametes?
