Cell Division
What is a chromatid?
A chromatid is one half of a duplicated chromosome
What is the function of the cells membrane?
The cell membrane is responsible for controlling which substances can enter and leave the cell.
What is the Cell Cycle?
The Cell Cycle is a series of events that Cells go through as they grow and divide.
What is Cytoplasm and what is its function?
Cytoplasm is a jelly-like fluid inside the cell whose job is to keep the organelles suspended.
What is a difference between Gametes and body cells?
Gametes are involved in the reproduction process(Haploids) while Body Cells are not involved in the reproduction process(Diploids).
What is Mitochondria?
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
What is interphase?
Interphase is a cycle that includes G1, S, G2
DNA is the genetic material that codes for traits.
What are the phases of cell division?
1. Interphase
2. Prophase
3. Metaphase
4. Anaphase
5. Telophase
What is the function of Ribosomes?
Ribosomes are the sight of protein synthesis?
When does DNA replication happen?
DNA replication happens during the Synthesis Phase.
What is Chloroplast and what cells are they found in?
Chloroplast is responsible for turning sunlight into sugar and mainly found in plant cells.
What is the difference between Haploids and Diploids?
Haploids only have one set of chromosomes while Diploids have two sets of DNA, one from Mom and one from Dad.
Cell walls are mainly found in which organism?
Cell walls are mainly found in plant cells.
Fission means "splitting into two parts."
What is the Nucleus and what kind of cell has them?
The Nucleus is the control center of the cell and is found in Eukaryotes.
Explain Crossing over?
Crossing over is when homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis.
What is the difference between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack a nucleus while Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus.
What occurs during Mitosis?
During Mitosis, the DNA and nucleus divide.
Where is DNA located in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes?
In Prokaryotes the DNA is located in the Cytoplasm while Eukaryotes have their DNA in the Nucleus.
