What is the part of the cell cycle where 1 normal body cell divides into 2 identical cells?

mitosis 

100

Explain: What is mitosis?

cell division 

100

What type of cells are produced by meiosis?

gametes OR reproductive cells OR eggs/sperm

100

What are chromosomes

DNA (and proteins) in the from of an X

100

What do you observe in this picture? 

a chromosome 

200

What is the part of the cell cycle where the cytoplasm divides?

cytokinesis

200

What are 3 functions of mitosis? (In other words, what are 3 reasons living things need mitosis?)

to grow, repair, or develop (old, damaged cells)

200

How many cells are produced by meiosis?

4
200

What are gametes?

reproductive cells (eggs and sperm)
200

What phase of the cell cycle is shown in this picture? 

metaphase

300

What parts of the cell cycle are not parts of mitosis/cell division?

interphase and cytokinesis

300

What are the 4 phases of mitosis?

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

300

How many phases (parts) does meiosis have? 

8 (prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, telophase 1, prophase 2, metaphase 2, anaphase 2, and telophase 2)

300

What is a phenotype?

the physical characteristics you observe (ex: eye color, height, size, etc.)

300

What phase of the cell cycle is shown in this picture? 

prophase 

400

What happens during the G1 and G2 phases of interphase?

the cell grows / does normal functions

400
What happens during metaphase? 

the chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell

400

What happens during telophase 2? 

4 haploid daughter cells start to form 

400

What is a genotype? 

the combination of alleles / letters 

400

Is this mitosis or meiosis? How do you know?

meiosis because it's producing 4 cells 

500

What happens during the S phase of interphase?

DNA is duplicated/copied

500

What happens during anaphase?

the chromosomes are separated / pulled apart 

500

How are the cells produced by meiosis different from the cells produced by mitosis? (2 answers!)

the cells produced by meiosis have only 1/2 (haploid) the DNA (chromosomes) 

the cells produced by meiosis are genetically different from each other

500
Explain the difference between diploid  and haploid. 

diploid is when a cell has full chromosomes, with two parts of each 

haploid is when a cell has only 1/2 the quantity of DNA of one half of each chromosome 

500

What phase do you observe in this picture? 

anaphase 2
