Cell Cycle
Mitosis
Meiosis
Vocabulary
100
This step of the cell cycle replicates the DNA.
What is interphase or S phase?
100
Mitosis leads to this many daughter cells.
What are 2 identical daughter cells?
100
Meiosis leads to this many daughter cells.
What are 4 genetically unique daughter cells?
100
A type of organism that contains cells with membrane-bound organelles such as a nucleus. This includes plant and animal cells.
What is eukaryote?
200
Nuclear division occurs at this step of the cell cycle.
What is mitosis?
200
This step of mitosis is represented below.
What is metaphase?
200
Meiosis goes through this many rounds of division.
What is 2? (Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II)
200
A cell of a living organism OTHER than the reproductive cells. This includes but is not limited to nerve cells, skin cells, heart cells, lung cells, etc.
What is somatic?
300
Cytokinesis is the division of the nucleus. (True or False)
What is false? (It is the division of the cytoplasm/cell as a whole)
300
Mitosis is the division of the cytoplasm. (True or False)
What is false? (It is the division of the nucleus ONLY)
300
If an organism's diploid number is 24 chromosomes, then this is how many chromosomes will be found in its gamete.
What is 12?
300
A single set of chromosomes.
What is haploid? (For humans this would be 23 because a full set of chromosomes is 46)
400
A cell spends most of its time in this phase of the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
400
This step of the cell cycle occurs almost simultaneously as telophase of mitosis.
What is cytokinesis?
400
The exchange of genetic material in prophase I between homologous chromosomes is called this.
What is crossing over?
400
A fertilized egg that resulted from the union of a female gamete and male gamete.
What is zygote?
500
Unregulated cellular division can lead to this health diagnosis.
What is cancer?
500
This step of mitosis is represented in the image below.
What is telophase?
500
A diploid cell for an organism is seen below. Draw the daughter cells on your whiteboard. (Must have the correct # of cells and chromosomes as well as an example of what those chromosomes will look like)
500
The process of a male gamete, sperm, fusing with a female gamete, egg.
What is fertilization?
