Mitosis
The life of a cell is divided into 3 stages. What is this called?
Cell cycle
In Meiosis, 1 cell becomes how many.
4
What does DNA stand for?
deoxyribonucleic acid
These are the two types of cell division.
Mitosis and meiosis
Asexual reproduction produces newly formed cells that are different from the original cell. (T or F?)
False
This type of cell has only half of the more common 46 chromosomes.
Haploid
What does the DNA structure resemble?
A ladder
In which stage of the cell cycle does the cell carry out its everyday functions?
There are 4 stages to this part of the cell cycle.
Mitosis
This is the most important stage of Meioisis.
Prophase I
How is DNA replicated?
Ladder unwinds, breaks apart, then new base pairs form on each half of original.
Meiosis results in this many cells.
4
This is the longest stage of the cell cycle.
Interphase
This type of cell has all 46 chromosomes.
Diploid
Guanine combines with what?
Cytosine
Mitosis results in this many cells.
2
DNA unwinds, replicates itself, then uses the base pairs as instructions to rebuild.
Replication
Meiosis is cell division of what two specific types of cells?
Sperm and egg
Adenine combines with what?
Thymine
Reproduction that requires 2 parents and produces offspring that are genetically different
Sexual reproduction
