Science Trivia
100
Mitosis and cytokinesis occur during this phase of the cell cycle
M phase
100
In this phase of mitosis, chromosomes are lined up single file
Metaphase
100
In humans, meiosis results in cells with this chromosome number
23
100
This term describes reproduction with only one parent
Asexual
100
The most abundant element in the universe
Hydrogen
200
DNA replication occurs during this phase of the cell cycle
S phase
200
These structures move replicated chromosomes around the cell
Spindle fibers
200
During this phase of meiosis, homologous pairs of chromosomes are separated
Anaphase I
200
In this type of asexual reproduction, the parent cell still exists after the daughter cell is formed
Budding
200
This early 18th century British scientist is credited with inventing calculus and formalizing the study of physics
Isaac Newton
300
DNA is unreplicated and not condensed during this phase
Interphase
300
There are always two of these during mitosis
Centrioles
300
These are the two mechanisms for introducing variation in meiosis
Crossing over and independent assortment
300
This structure forms during mitosis of plant cells but not mitosis of animal cells
Cell plate
300
Name any sub-sub-atomic particle (smaller than a proton, neutron, or electron)
Quark, lepton, boson
400
The chromosomes condense during this phase
Prophase
400
Crossing over occurs during this phase of meiosis
Prophase I
400
This term describes a life cycle that incorporates both haploid and diploid stages
Alternation of generations
400
Site of a 1986 nuclear meltdown, widely regarded as the most catastrophic nuclear accident in history
Chernobyl
500
There are no chromatids present during these two phases of mitosis
Anaphase and telophase
500
This is another term for the process of meiosis; it described the fact that the resulting cells have fewer chromosomes than the parent cell
Reduction division
500
This process is used to form gametes in the alternation of generations life cycle
Mitosis
500
This scientist was working on the concept of evolution and natural selection at the same time as Charles Darwin, but Darwin beat him to the publisher
Alfred Russel Wallace
