Organelles
These organelles are the sites of protein synthesis.
What are ribosomes?
This network of membranes is responsible for lipid synthesis and detoxification.
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)?
This type of cell division is responsible for growth and tissue repair in multicellular organisms.
What is mitosis?
Name the mitosis phase where chromosomes first become visible.
What is Prophase?
How many chromosome sets do meiosis-produced cells have?
What is one set (haploid)?
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for transport.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This organelle helps move chromosomes during cell division.
What is the centrosome?
This type of cell division results in four genetically unique haploid cells.
What is meiosis?
Name the phase where sister chromatids line up in the middle of the cell.
What is Metaphase?
Name the process in Prophase I where homologous chromosomes exchange segments of DNA.
What is crossing over?
These small, membrane-bound sacs transport molecules within the cell.
What are vesicles?
This organelle produces ATP for the cell.
What is the mitochondrion?
In this stage of meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up at the cell’s middle as pairs.
What is Metaphase I?
Name the phase where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
What is Anaphase?
Name the phase where homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles.
What is Anaphase I?
This organelle contains digestive enzymes to break down waste and foreign material.
What is a lysosome?
This organelle has ribosomes attached and helps in protein synthesis.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)?
A diploid organism has 2n = 12. After Meiosis I, each daughter cell will contain this number of chromosomes, and they will still consist of this structure.
What is 6 chromosomes, each still made of two sister chromatids?
Name the phase when the nucleus reforms and cytokinesis begins.
What is Telophase?
Meiosis II is similar to mitosis. What is being separated during this division?
What are Sister chromatids?
Structures that maintain cell shape.
What is the cytoskeleton?
Organelles that break down fatty acids and detoxify substances.
What is a peroxisome?
A researcher observes a cell in which sister chromatids are separating, but the chromosome number in each half of the cell remains haploid. The cell is most likely in this specific stage.
What is Anaphase II?
During which phase of mitosis does the nuclear envelope disappear?
What is Prometaphase?
Name an error during meiosis where chromosomes fail to separate.
What is Nondisjunction?
