What's up with that cell?
Apoptosis
List the stages of mitosis in order.
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
A mixture of DNA and proteins that form the chromosomes
chromatin
This process make gametes
Meiosis
An organism capable of reproducing male and female gametes
hermaphrodite
Which contains more material: a sperm, an egg cell, a polar-body
an egg cell
All phases of the cell cycle that do not include mitosis
Interphase
An organized package of DNA that is formed during cell division
Chromosome
This process makes cells for replacement or growth
Mitosis
A bacterium begins binary fission. What will exist when the process is finished?
Two genetically-identical bacteria
A diploid cell that results from the union of two gametes
Zygote
During this stage, the chromatin turns into chromosomes with the use of histones. The nuclei is dissolved, and the spindle apparatus is formed
Prophase
Chromosomes that carry the same genes, but one comes from one parent while the other comes from the other parent
Homologous Chromosomes
A cell undergoes spermatogenesis. How many functional gametes will be formed?
There will be four functional gametes
A division of cytoplasm, which results in two cells where there was only one
cytokinesis
A mature haploid cell used in sexual reproduction
Gamete
A cell undergoing mitosis has passed its checkpoint. What is the next stage of mitosis that it will enter?
Anaphase is next. The checkpoint in mitosis is in metaphase. The next phase after that is anaphase.
Sister chromatids are attached at this central point
centromere
A cell undergoes oogenesis. How many functional gametes will be formed?
There will be one functional gamete formed
What process makes two identical cells?
Binary fission, mitosis, budding
A cell with 32 chromosomes ends up producing two cells with 16 chromosomes each of which is attached to its sister chromatid. What happened: mitosis, meiosis I , meiosis II, budding, or binary fission?
Meiosis I happened. Meiosis I splits up the homolog, but they are still attached to their chromosomes. Meiosis II takes the cell and separates the sister chromatids.
A contractile ring is formed during telophase. What kind of cell is undergoing mitosis?
An animal cell. Plants build a cell wall between the new nuclei and a plasma membrane then constructed in telophase. There is no contractile ring. Bacterial cells don't use mitosis.
A cell has its haploid set of ___, and they are attached to their sister ____.
Chromosomes, chromatids
A cell with its diploid set of DNA has 28 chromosomes. If it undergoes mitosis, how many cells will there be, and how many chromosomes will each have?
After mitosis there will be 2 cells with 28 chromosomes each
A cell is leaving s phase, which stage is it beginning?
G2 phase
