100
Process by which the cell cytoplasm divides.
Cytokinesis
100
Meiosis occurs in game cells to produce _________.
Gametes
100
What is Meiosis?
A form of nuclear division that divides a diploid cell into haploid cells.
100
How is Mitosis related to Cytokinesis?
Mitosis occurs in all body cells and prepares it for Cytokinesis.
100
What are the differences in the results of the cells in Mitosis and Meiosis?
Mitosis results in diploid cells, Meiosis results in haploid cells.
200
Two separate chromosomes; one from your mother, one from your father.
Homologous Chromosomes
200
In Mitosis, both parent and daughter cells are _______.
Diploid cells
200
How many rounds of cell division does Meiosis involve?
2
200
What are the four main phases of Mitosis?
- Prophase - Metaphase - Anaphase - Telophase
200
What do Mitosis and Meiosis both produce?
Cells
300
Region of condensed chromosome that looks pinched.
Centromere
300
One half of a duplicated chromosome is a __________.
Chromatid
300
What are the four main phases of Meiosis?
- Prophase - Metaphase - Anaphase - Telophase
300
How many genetically identical daughter cells do Mitosis and Cytokinesis produce?
2 daughter cells
300
What process is involved in asexual reproduction, and which one is involved in sexual reproduction?
- Mitosis: asexual - Meiosis: sexual
400
The duplicated chromosomes that remain attached (by the centromere).
Sister Chromatids
400
In the ________ (Mitosis), a complete set of identical chromosomes is positioned at each pole of the cell.
Telophase
400
When are homologous chromosomes divided?
Meiosis I
400
How is Interphase connected to Mitosis?
It prepares the cell to divide and provides time for the duplication of organelles and for DNA replication.
400
How many chromosomes do each new cell end up having in both processes?
2 sets of 23; 46
500
Protein that organizes chromosomes and around which DNA wraps.
Histone
500
_______________ supplies the new plasma membrane.
The Golgi Apparatus
500
Why are there two Meiosis divisions?
To ensure the number of chromosomes
500
Why is it important for chromosomes to be compact/untangled during Mitosis?
-not easily broken -the correct amounts of chromosomes end up in each new cell
500
How is it different what time they both take place in an organism's life cycle?
Mitosis takes place in an organism's lifetime, Meiosis only takes place at certain times in a life cycle.
