Mitosis
List the 4 phases of mitosis in order.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
List the phases of Meiosis.
Prophase 1, Metaphase 1, Anaphase 1, Telophase 1, Prophase 2,, Metaphase 2, Anaphase 2, Telophase 2
During this type of reproduction there is only one parent. The offspring are clones of the parent.
This is the term that describes an animal blending in with its surroundings in order to not stand out when a predator is near.
camouflage
List the 3 parts of the cell cycle in order.
Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis
During this phase, the spindle fibers pull the chromatids to opposite sides of the cell.
Anaphase
During this stage, pairs of homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
Metaphase 1
This type of reproduction requires 2 parents. The offspring are genetically different.
Sexual Reproduction
This is the term for when an organism acts like or looks like another organism.
Example: Viceroy butterfly and Monarch butterfly
Mimicry
What happens during cytokinesis?
The cell splits into 2.
Metaphase
During this phase the spindle fibers pull apart the pairs of homologous chromosomes.
Anaphase 1
When a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud and remains attached as it grows, separating when it is mature. ex: yeast, hydra, tapeworms
budding
What is one adaptation camels have that help them survive?
3rd eyelid, can go for long periods of time without water, hoof shape, humps hold lots of fats so it can travel for long distances, etc
Describe what happens during interphase.
The cell grows, makes new organelles, and copies the DNA.
During this phase of Mitosis, the nuclear membrane dissolves and the chromosomes begin to coil.
Prophase
During this phase, the spindle fibers pull apart the sister chromatids.
During this type of asexual reproduction, new plants grow from vegetative parts such as roots, stems, and leaves.
vegetative reproduction (tubers, runners)
What structure do skunks have that they can use to defend themselves against predators?
How is cytokinesis different in plants and animals?
The process of Mitosis results in:
2 genetically identical daughter cells
Meiosis results in:
4 genetically different haploid cells.
Name of benefit of asexual reproduction and one benefit of sexual reproduction.
Asexual reproduction- quick and produces large number of offspring
Sexual reproduction- produces genetically different offspring
This term describes an anatomical feature or behavior that no longer seems to have a purpose in the current form of an organism or species.
Vestigial structures
What are the 3 phases that make up interphase?
G1, S, G2
