Cell Division 1
What is 44.
All the cells found in the organism, excluding the reproductive cells
What are somatic cells, or body cells.

What is Meiosis.
Produced from a diploid cell with 30 chromosomes, the gametes will have how many chromosomes?
What is 15.
The number of times the DNA replicates in Meiosis.
What is 1.
The reproductive cells produced in Meiosis.
What are gametes.
The number of cell divisions in Meiosis.
What is 2.
The process used for growth, repair, and/or asexual reproduction.
What is mitosis.
The number of cells produced as a result of meiosis.
What is 4.
The number of cellular divisions in Mitosis.
What is 1.
This word means: Containing only a single set of chromosomes, represented by the letter n.
What is haploid
True of False
The cells produced in Meiosis are genetically identical.
False.
The process found in the S phase of Mitosis and Meiosis that results in a doubling of the genetic material.
What is DNA Replication.
Which process produces identical daughter cells?
What is mitosis.
In Metaphase I of meiosis, are the chromosomes lined up at the equator in a double-file line or a single-file line?
What is a double-file line.
*DAILY DOUBLE*
What is the term used to describe 4 homologous chromatids or 2 homologous chromosomes that are attached to each other during Prophase I of meiosis?
This type of cell division allows for genetic variety of organisms, explaining why siblings don't look identical!
what is Meiosis.
Chromosomes that are the same size and shape because they carry genes for the same traits are called what?
what are homologous chromosomes.
Most cells in the body of a fruit fly contain eight chromosomes. How many of these chromosomes were contributed by each parent of the fruit fly?
What is 4.
If the n number of chromosomes is 8, what is the diploid number?
What is 16.
Sperm cells of the Russian dwarf hamster contain 14 chromosomes. What is the total number of chromosomes that would be found in each cell of a normal, newly formed zygote of this species?
What is 28.
The result of fusing together a sperm and an egg.
What is a zygote.
How many chromosomes are present in each of the two daughter cells after telophase I of meiosis?
What is 23 chromosomes (46 chromatids).
The process of combining a sperm and an egg.
What is fertilization.
What is crossing over.
The identical copies formed by the DNA replication of a chromosome, with both copies joined together by a common centromere (forming an X)
What are sister chromatids.
