100

How many cell divisions happen during Meiosis?

2

100

Compared to mitosis, meiosis produces cells with ______ the number of chromosomes.

Half

200

Centromere

200

What is the order of THE WHOLE cell cycle?

I-PMAT-C

200

How many daughter cells are produced at the end of Meiosis?

4

200

The body cell of a cat contains 38 chromosomes. How many chromosomes would a gamete have?

19

300

The part of the cell that disappears during Mitosis

Nucleus

300

What happens during Prophase?

Nuclei break down, DNA coils

300

What is the purpose of Meiosis?

Reproduction

300

A cell is in Prophase, and has 20 chromosomes. How many chromatids does it have?

40 (During Prophase, the DNA is already duplicated)

400

Genes are made up of what?

DNA

400

How many times do cells divide in Mitosis?

Once

400
There are ___ daughter cells at the end of Meiosis, that are genetically ___________.

4, unique

400

After cells are fertilized (two gametes combine to make a cell with 46 chromosomes), what kind of cell division will it go through?

Mitosis
500

What is the process that takes place during Meiosis that leads to genetic variety?

Crossing Over

500

What is the difference between Telophase and Cytokinesis?

Telophase is where the cells start to form (Nuclei reform, chromatin uncoils)

Cytokinesis is when the cells completely split

500

How many chromosomes do human gametes have? Why?

23

23+23=46

500

During prophase I, a cell has 16 chromaTIDS. After going through meiosis, how many chromaTIDS will it have?

4

(Divide twice. 16/2=8, 8/2=4)
