Mitosis results in the formation of two _______ cells that are genetically _________ to the parent cell.
Diploid ; identical
At the end of the two divisions of Meiosis, how many haploid cells are formed?
4 Haploid Cells
What are the two types of Gamete cells?
Sperm and Egg Cells
95% of the time the cell is in this stage of the Cell cycle.
Interphase.
During which phase of Meiosis does crossing over occur?
Prophase of Meiosis I
What are the four phases of Mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase
When an egg and a sperm cell come together after Meiosis, this process is called?
Fertilization.
In which stage of interphase is DNA Replicated & chromosomes duplicated?
The S phase.
When does independent assortment happen?
Metaphase I
During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes reach opposite poles as the nuclear membranes reform around each set of chromatids?
Telophase
Meiosis deals with which type of cells?
What is Gametes.
If a haploid cell for a Rose has 32 Chromosomes, how many chromosomes are in a diploid Rose cell?
64
Describes the G1 phase?
The cell grows and all cellular contents, except the chromosomes, are duplicated.
The relaxed, and uncoiled form of DNA is called?
Chromatin.
What is mitosis used for? & what type of cells is mitosis used for?
It is used for Growth & repair of cells. It deals with Somatic Cell or body cells
Difference between Meiosis 1 & Meiosis 2
Meiosis 1 ends in 2 diploid cells
Meiosis 2 ends in 4 haploid cells
Is this meiosis or mitosis? Which phase is C
This is meiosis because there are four cells. C is cytokinesis
Following the cell division of a eukaryotic cell, the two daughter cells end up with the wrong number of chromosomes. One has one too many chromosomes and the other has one too few. During which phase of mitosis did this error likely occur?
Anaphase
Define haploid & Diploid and what are the symbols for each?
Haploid (n): half the normal chromosome number
Diploid (2n) : Full chromosome number
During Meiosis, what is the cause for the genetic variability between organisms with the same parent?
Crossing Over & Independent Assortment
Give 3 differences between Meiosis and Mitosis.
- Meiosis occurs in gametes, and Mitosis occurs in somatic cells.
-Meiosis goes through cell division twice, and Mitosis only goes through it once.
-Mitosis forms identical copies of the parent cell, while meiosis does not.
What is called when the two daughter cells end up with the wrong number of chromosomes. One has one too many chromosomes and the other has one too few.
Nondisjunction
Put these in the correct order
1) Cytokinesis
2) Chromosomes align
3) DNA is copied
4) Spindle fibers form
3) DNA is copied, 4) spindle fibers form, 2) Chromosomes align, 1) Cytokinesis
