DNA Replication
The process of growth and replication is called
The cell cycle
Mitosis will ensure that each new daughter cell will have the same number and kinds of ___________
genes
Organisms that can reproduce asexually only need to go through the cell division of
Mitosis
One complete set of genes, or n, is what kind of cell
haploid
The cell cycle has these 3 stages
interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis
In this phase of Mitosis, the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell
Metaphase
There are other organisms, not like amoebas, that reproduce involving
Gametes
Meiosis has how many cell divisions
2
Cells will spend most of their lives in this stage
Interphase
In this phase, sister chromatids divide to separate chromosomes and end up at opposite ends of the cell
Anaphase
Meiosis is the process that reduces by half the amount of ____
DNA
The chromosomes go through a phase where they experience crossing-over. In what phase does this occur
Prophase I
A cell will need to make a copy of its DNA so each new cell will have a set of DNA - the copying process is called
DNA replication or replication
What is the final phase ending in 2 new daughter cells
Cytokinesis
This cell has 2 complete sets of DNA, they are listed as 2n, we would call this cell
diploid
True or False? Meiosis is necessary for animal reproduction.
True
An enzyme will unzip the DNA into _____________ and eventually produce two identical __________________
two halves; DNA molecules
In which two phases do we lose and receive a nuclear membrane, chromosomes coil and uncoil, and spindles appear and disappear
Prophase, and Telophase
Chromosomes in a diploid cell have a matching partner with same genes - the matching pairs of chromosomes are called _________________
Homologous chromosomes
A diploid cell that results from fertilization is called a __________
zygote
