Cells
What are the two main types of cells?
Eukaryotic & Prokaryotic.
What are the four phases of the cell cycle?
G1, S, G2, M
2
How many daughter cells does meiosis produce?
4
Genetic diversity is a pro of which type of reproduction?
Sexual Reproduction.
Asexually
In which phase does the cell duplicate its genetic material?
S phase.
What are the 4 phases of Mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
How many times does cells split during Meiosis?
2
Some cells don't go through Mitosis... what phase do they stay in?
G zero
What are the two types of Eukaryotic cells?
Plant & Animal.
Where are the three checkpoints in the cell cycle?
G1, G2, M
What is the final split of one cell into two called.
Cytokineses.
What is the exchange of DNA between paired homologous chromosomes called?
Crossing Over.
True or false. If a Diploid cell has 2n chromosomes, then a haploid cell will have n chromosomes.
True.
The smallest functional and structural unit of life.
What happens if a cell doesn't pass a checkpoint?
Apoptosis or Cell limbo
What is the goal of Mitosis?
To grow/ repair an organism.
What is the goal of Meiosis?
To produce genetically diverse haploid gametes.
Why can't cells be gigantic?
surface area-to-volume ratio
Which organelles make protiens?
Ribosomes.
Where does a cell spend most of its life?
Interphase.
What is the big difference between how an animal cell divides and how a plant cell divides?
Animal pinches inward, Plants forms a cell plate.
True or false. All living organisms do Meiosis.
False. Asexual organisms do not need Meiosis.
This organelle is thought to have once been a free-living bacterium.
Mitochondria
