Phases of Meiosis
This is where analogous chromosomes separate in Meiosis
What is Anaphase I
This is the process necessary for an organism to grow and reproduce.
What is cell division?
Necessary for an organism to grow and reproduce.
What is cell division?
A nucleotide is missing from a DNA strand.
What is deletion?
The type of point mutation that does not cause a change in the protein produced.
What is nonsense mutation?
Meiosis contributes to the process of reproduction by producing this type of cell.
What is haploid cell?
During this phase the cell is preparing for growth and cell division.
What is Interphase.
Two cells are produced with genetic material identical to the parent cell.
What happens when a single cell undergoes mitosis?
The longest stage in the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
Monosaccharides or simple sugars.
What are the building blocks (monomers) of carbohydrates?
The phenomenon when homologous chromosomes touch and exchange genetic information.
What is crossing over?
Process that happens before mitosis begins and the nucleus starts dividing.
What is DNA Replication?
Last stage in cell division when the cytoplasm divides.
What is cytokinesis?
Results in a mutation caused by an extra nucleotide being added to the DNA strand.
What is insertion?
The molecule made during translation.
What is a protein?
Chromosomes make a copy of themselves.
What is synthesis (s phase)?
DNA is replicated in this phase
What is synthesis (s Phase)?
The most likely cause of variation within a species.
What is mutation?
This type of cell only contains half the chromosomes.
What is a gamete?
An energy storing process producing glucose.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the stage in Meiosis where the chromatids split and move to opposite poles of the cell.
What is Anaphase II?
This cellular reproduction results in to diploid cells having the exact same genetic information.
What is Mitosis?
It allows gametes to have half the original number of chromosomes of the organism.
Why is meiosis important for sexual reproduction?
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis.
What is the correct sequence for cellular division?
Process that produces 2 ATP in the absence of oxygen.
What is anaerobic respiration?
