Cells and the Cell cycle
A type of cell whose cell cycle includes mitosis (aka a non reproductive cell)
What is, Somatic Cell
The process in which a body cell undergoes cell division
What is, Mitosis
What are the 3 parts of a somatic cell's cycle
What is, Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis
The process in which the product is 4 haploid cells that are genetically different
What is, Meiosis
The product of Meiosis is this type of cell
What is, Reproductive cell
The name for a cell that are used in order to reproduce
What is, Gametes
The nuclear membrane breaks down and spindle fibers form in this phase of mitosis
What is, Prophase
The part of Mitosis where the cells are lining up at the equator of the cell
What is, Metaphase
During meiosis, the parent cell in a cat starts with 38 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are in each daughter cell.
What is 19
Describe the difference between homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids
What is homologous chromosomes are a pair of chromosomes, one from mother and one from father.
Sister chromatids are identical, and are joined together by a centromere to form a chromosome
The name for the process of growth, and division that a cell undergoes
What is, The Cell Cycle
The part of Mitosis where Sister chromatids are pulled apart towards the poles of the cells
What is, Anaphase
The Cytoplasm splits into two, forming two new cells, in this phase of Mitosis
What is Cytokinesis
The name for the two processes that occur during prophase I that are unique to meiosis
What is, Synapsis and crossing over
The name for a pair of chromosomes in which one is maternal, and one is paternal.
What is homologous chromosomes
The part of the the cell cycle where the cell copies its DNA in order to prepare to divide
What is, The S phase of interphase
A dog cell is undergoing mitotic division. The parent cell has 78 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will each new daughter cell have?
What is 78
Mitosis starts out with a _________ __________ parent cell, and ends with a _________ _________ daughter cell.
(Hint: First blank describes type of cell, second blank describes number of chromosomes)
What is somatic diploid, and somatic diploid
The difference between metaphase I and II is this
What is, During metaphase I homologous chromosomes are lining up in the cell, during metaphase II, they are no longer homologous, it is just one of each type of chromosome..
What is the biggest difference between telophase/cytokinesis I and II
What is, the product of Telophase and cytokinesis I is 2 cells, the product of Telophase and cytokinesis I is 4 cells.
How many chromosomes are in an adult male's epithelial cell?
What is, 46
What is the purpose of mitosis (why is mitosis so important)
What is, Growth and Repair
What is G1, S, G2
G1 - Growth phase
S - DNA copying phase
G2 - prepares to divide
List three differences between mitosis and meiosis
What is mitosis produces somatic cells, meiosis produces gametes.
The product of Mitotic division is genetically identical daughter cells, in meiosis it is genetically different daughter cells
Mitosis is one division, meiosis is two
List three similarities with meiosis and mitosis
What is,
Mitosis and meiosis both start with diploid cells
Both cells follow the same cell cycle - interphase dividing, and cytokinesis
Both involve cells dividing
