What occurs during S phase of the cell cycle?
DNA is replicated
100
List the stages of mitosis in order.
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
100
What process is happening in the image?
Crossing over
100
What cellular process forms egg and sperm cells?
Meiosis

Eugene
200
Where does cell division take place? (A, B, C, or D)
Section D
200
What stage of mitosis is depicted in the image below?
Metaphase
200
Somatic cells of Asian elephants contained 56 chromosomes. How many chromosomes would its gametes contain?
28
200
What type of cell division is depicted below? Diploid # = 2.
Mitosis
200
What is Mr. Martin's favorite kind of pen?
G2 Pilots
300
Which phase of the cell cycle is characterized by growth AND happens AFTER the cell replicates its DNA? (Name 1 specific phase)
G2
300
What structure separates the sister chromatids and pulls them to opposite poles of the cell?
spindle fibers
300
In which stage of meiosis does crossing over occur?
Prophase I
300
What cellular process allows an embryo to grow?
Mitosis
300
What happens when a cell can no longer control its rate of growth?
Cancer
400
In which stage of the cell cycle does a cell spend the most time, and why?
Interphase
Because this is where the cell does its normal functions, and because it takes a long time to prepare for cell division.
400
Which stage of mitosis is characterized by having the chromatids on opposite sides of the cell, a cleavage furrow forming, and a nuclear membrane reforming?
Telophase
400
Describe the cells produced by meiosis.
(# of cells produced, haploid/diploid & identical/different)
4 haploid daughter cells that are genetically different
400
What stage of cell division is depicted below?
Diploid # = 8
Telophase II
Telophase b/c: chromosomes on opposite sides, nuclear memb reforming, cleavage furrow forming
II b/c: each new nucleus only has 4/8 lone chromatids, so it's haploid.
400
What is the word for "programmed cell death"?
Hint: it can make the cell "pop".
Apoptosis
500
Draw and label the cell cycle.
Include all phases and substages
500
Describe the cells produced by mitosis.
(# of cells produced, genetic variation haploid/diploid, & type of cell )
2
Genetically identical
Diploid
Somatic/Body cells
500
How does meiosis contribute to genetic variation?
Meiosis creates a different daughter from each parent cell by doing crossing over and by making haploid cells
500
Describe how metaphase is different in Meiosis and Mitosis.
In metaphase 1 of meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate and then separate.
This does not happen in mitosis.
