Cell Cycle
The longest phase of the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
The correct order of the phases of mitosis.
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase (and cytokinesis)?
The number of stages to complete meiosis.
What is 8?
The type of mutation that introduces a "stop" codon prematurely, preventing the protein from being fully functional.
What is a nonsense mutation?
The phase when DNA is replicating.
What is the S phase?
The phase when chromosomes become visible and the nuclear membrane breaks down.
What is prophase?
The stage where recombination of homologous chromosomes occurs.
What is prophase 1?
Deletion or insertion of large sections of DNA is an example of a ___________ mutation.
What is a chromosomal mutation?
The correct order of the cell cycle.
What is G1 - S - G2 - M?
The phase when spindles break down and pull chromatids away from each other to opposite poles of the cell.
What is anaphase?
The phase where independent assortment of homologous chromosomes occurs.
What is metaphase 1?
Sickle cell anemia is a disease caused by the change of one amino acid. This is an example of a ________ mutation.
What is a point mutation?
The phase when cytokinesis occurs.
What is the M phase?
Once mitosis is complete, resulting daughter cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total) which is called _______?
What is diploid?
The phase that directly produces 4 haploid daughter cells.
What is telophase 2?
A way to visualize an individual's genome by organizing his or her chromosomes from largest to smallest is called a ______________.
What is a karyotype?
The resting phase of the cell. Stem cells can turn this phase on or off in order to make specific types of cells
