What happens during interphase?
A cell grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division.
What happens to the chromosomes in prophase 1?
The chromatin condenses into chromosomes.
Def. of Oogenesis/ Purpose?
Oogenesis is the process of formation of female gametes. This process begins inside the fetus before birth.
Name the phase:
Hint: Chromosomes are moving apart.
Anaphase
How many chromosomes are there at the end of telophase 2?
23 chromosomes
What are the stages of interphase?
G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth)
What happens during prophase 2?
During prophase II, the chromosomes condense, and a new set of spindle fibers forms.
Def. of Spermatogenesis/ Purpose?
Spermatogenesis is the biological process of producing sperm cells. It occurs in the male gonad of a sexually reproducing organism.
What phases come before/after Anaphase?
Metaphase/Telophase
The cell membrane pinches in, dividing the cytoplasm into 2 cells.
Cytokenesis
What happens during the s phase?
S phase is the period of wholesale DNA synthesis during which the cell replicates its genetic content
What is the difference between prophase 1 and prophase 2?
Prophase I involves the separation of homologous chromosomes while prophase II involves the separation of sister chromatids
Chromosome pairs line up at the equator (in the middle) during which phase of the cell cycle?
Metaphase
Which of the following is anaphase stage:
Name the phase:
Telophase
In which phase does the cell grow?
G1
What is the correct order of the steps of the cell cycle?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What phase of mitosis is occuring in the picture?
Metaphase
E.
Meiosis vs. Mitosis
Mitosis, is the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells.
