What is G1
A final output of mitosis
What is 2 genetically identical cells (2n-diploid somatic cells)
The 3 major stages in the cell of the cell cycle (in order)
What are interphase, mitosis and cytokines?
Mitosis is the division of _____________
What is the nucleus?
Type and number of cells produced
What is 4 gametes (egg & sperm)
The functions of the cell cycle
What are growth, repair and maintenance
A cell that results from a fusion of two gametes
What is a zygote
The stages of mitosis (in order)
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
The process where a sperm and egg join together to form a new independent cell called a zygote
What is fertilization?
An example of how an organism preforms each of the three functions of the cell cycle
Ex. what is growth - division of cells cause and organism to grow bigger, maintenance - red blood cells divide and are continuously replaced, repair - cells divide to form a scar over a cut
Part of the cell cycle during which the cell prepares for cell division by making additional organelles
What is G2
3 features of meiosis resulting in mixing and matching of genetic material
What are crossing-over of the chromosomes, independent assortment and independent assortment?
Type of cell must a mutation occur in to be passed on to offspring?
What is a gametes
At the end of interphase, a human cell will have _____ chromosomes and ___________ chromatids
What is 46 chromosomes and 92 chromatids
Why does mitosis have to start before cytokinesis
What is because the nucleus has to divide so each new cell gets a full copy of the DNA
A pair of homologous chromosomes that form during meiosis 1 and crossing over occurs
What is a tetrad
