This is the stage before mitosis, when cells grow and synthesize

What is interphase?

100

These(this) are(is) the number(s) of rounds of interphase and cytokinesis for all of meiosis

What is one and two?

100

Crossing-over occurs at this stage of meiosis

What is prophase I?

100

This is the total genetic component of an organism

What is genome?

100

True or false: Regardless whether nondisjunction occurs during meiosis I or meiosis II, the resulting daughter cells will have the same chromosome counts

What is false?

200

The acronym that tells the stages of mitosis

What is PMAT?

200

During anaphase I, these are pulled to opposite poles of the cell

What are homologous chromosomes?

200

Pigs grow from a fertilized embryo to an adult size of 200 kg mainly through a biological process known as this

What is mitosis? 

200

This term refers to the presence of two copies of each chromosome

What is diploid?

200

This characterizes a dicentric chromosome

What are two centromeres? 

300

This is the stage of mitosis when chromosomes are most condensed

What is metaphase?

300

This mechanism is important for creating new combinations of genes via the exchange of genetic material between chromatids of homologous chromosomes

What is crossing over?

300

A cell with a total of 6 chromosomes (2N = 6) will have this many individual chromatids formed at the end of the interphase prior to mitosis.

What is 12?

300

This is when the centromere is located near one end of the chromosome

What is acrocentric?

300

These are energy-producing organelles that contain DNA

What are mitochondria?

400

During anaphase, these are pulled to opposite poles of the cell

What are sister chromatids?

400

This is when oogenesis is arrested in meiosis

What is meiosis I/prophase I?

400

A diploid cell with a total of 10 chromosomes (2N = 10) will have this many individual chromatids aligned on the metaphase plate during meiosis I

What is 20?
400

This is nuclear division

What is karyokinesis

400

This is an aneuploid condition that results from three copies of chromosome 21

What is Down Syndrome?

500

The number of chromosomes and ploidy at the conclusion of mitosis in humans

What is 46 and diploid? 

500

The number of chromosomes at the conclusion of meiosis in humans

What is 23 and haploid?

500

Sister chromatids are formed initially in this phase of a cell cycle, and begin to be separated from each other in this phase

What are interphase and anaphase? 

500

This is a cross between true-breeding parents that differ in two traits

What is a dihybrid cross?

500

An animal has 22 chromosomes (2N=22), this is the number of chromosomes it would have if it has a triploid stage

what is 33?
