What is My Tosis?
A vicious Cycle
My little Cell is all grown up
My Osis is complicated
100
How many cellular divisions are there in Meiosis?
TWO
100
Name the stage of mitosis seen here:
Telophase
100
This is the amount of haploid cells created at the end of Meiosis.
FOUR
100
What is the cell division process where cells replace other cells with genetically identical copies?
Mitosis
100
In what kind of cells does Mitosis happen?
Somatic (body) cells
100
Cancer, generally, can be treated in 3 different ways. Name TWO of them.
1. Surgery
2. Radiation (radio-therapy)
3. Chemo-therapy
200
This is the first stage of the cell cycle in which the cell grows.
G1
200
This part of the cell cycle is when the cell makes copies of its DNA.
S Phase
200
In humans, what is the # of chromosomes in our somatic cells at the end of mitosis?
46
200
In humans, this is our haploid # of chromosomes
23
200
In this part of the cell cycle extra organelles are produced inside the cell and the cell is preparing for mitosis.
G2 phase
200
Sister Chromatids, containing different DNA, move to the middle of the two dividing cells during this stage. (be specific!)
Metaphase II
300
In which cellular division process do we end up with haploid cells.
Meiosis
300
Which cellular division process ends with two diploid cells?
Mitosis
300
In what kind of cells does meiosis happen?
Gametes
300
What are the thread-like structures inside the nucleus of the cell that hold all of your genetic information (DNA)?
Chromosomes
300
The G1, S, and G2 phases together are collectively known as this.
Interphase
300
In class, we discussed a few different causes of cancer. Name ONE of them.
Epigenetics
Toxins from pollution or smoking.
Drug use.
Radiation overexposure.
Inadequate nutrient intake.
Genetics
Mutations to DNA.
Have to be inherited via gametes.
400
What is the process by which some organisms do not need a partner and give rise to genetically identical offspring?
Asexual reproduction
400
What is the name for a collection of cells that are growing abnormally? (Hint - it can be benign or malignant)
Tumor
400
What is the name of the process in which sections of maternal and paternal homologous chromosomes exchange genetic information to create genetic variation in new chromosomes?
Crossing Over
400
Crossing over occurs in what phase of Meiosis?
Prophase I
400
What is the name for the part of the cell cycle where the jelly-like fluid inside of the cell divides and creates 2 new daughter cells?
Cytokinesis
400
If the cell detects that the DNA is damaged a little bit at the first checkpoint, it will stay in a secondary growth phase. What is the name of this phase?
G0
500
What is the name for a pair of chromosomes in a cell that contain the same genes in the same order?
Homologous chromosomes
500
When a haploid egg and a haploid sperm unite through fertilization, what is the name of the first diploid cell that is created as a result?
Zygote
500
When two gametes meet, what is name for the chance occurrence that results in genetic variance (diversity) among offspring?
Random Fertilization
500
What is the term for when cancer cells enter the bloodstream and can travel to other parts of the body?
Metastasis
500
What is the name for the different versions of the gene for each trait carried on a chromosome? (Hint - You get one of these from each parent)
Alleles
500
If the cell’s DNA is damaged a lot, then all the lysosomes burst in a process called this...
Apoptosis
