Wild Card
100
These types of cells typically go through binary fission
What are prokaryotic/bacteria cells?
100
Cells with only one set of complete chromosomes are called
What is haploid?
100

This is the overall goal of meiosis:

What is to create genetic diversity in populations?

100
Mitosis results in this many cells:
What is 2?
100

This prefix means 'to bring together or to centralize'

What is meta?

200
These organisms go through both meiosis and mitosis
What are sexually-reproducing eukaryotes?
200
Cells with two complete sets of chromosomes are called this
What is diploid?
200

Meiosis results in _____________, genetically different, haploid cells

What is 4?

200
This is the evolutionary goal of mitosis
What is to conserve genetic information?
200

This prefix means 'to step back from; to move away'

What is 'ana?'

300

This term refers to the creation of mature sperm and egg cells

What is gametogenesis (would also accept Meiosis on the test)?

300
Name five types of somatic cells
What are skin/brain/liver/muscle/bone/hair/intestinal/stomach/esophageal/nerve/etc cells?
300
This phase is the longest phase of meiosis
What is Prophase I?
300
These are the 5 phases of mitosis
What are 1) prophase, 2) metaphase, 3) anaphase, 4) telophase, and 5) cytokinesis?
300
Chromosomes that are ________________ carry the same genes in the same order
What is homologous?
400

The term 'cytokinesis' translates to this

What is 'cells move apart?' 

400
These are the four major phases of the cell life cycle:
What are 1) M phase, 2) G1, 3) S phase, 4) G2?
400

In this phase of meiosis, spindle fibers begin to shorten and pull replicated chromosomes (formerly homologous chromosomes) to opposite ends of the cell

What is anaphase I?

400

In this phase of meiosis, spindle fibers attach to homologous chromosomes and move them to the middle of the cell

What is metaphase I?

400
This is where you received your two sets of chromosomes from:
What is 1) mom and 2) dad?
500

This is the final result of Meiosis

What is '4, genetically-different, haploid gametes?' 

500

These are the major differences between cytokinesis at the end of meiosis I versus cytokinesis in meiosis II

What is 'Meiosis I: cytokinesis cleaves one cell into two genetically different, diploid cells and Meiosis II: cytokinesis cleaves two cells into four, each with a single set of complete chromosomes?'

500
This is how meiosis and genetic diversity are related
What is 'meiosis generates genetic diversity within populations and helps populations persist longer?'
500
List the first four phases of mitosis and explain what occurs in each
What is 1) prophase: DNA condenses, spindle forms, nuclear membrane breaks down, 2) metaphase: spindle fibers attach to homologous chromosomes, move them to middle of cell, 3) anaphase: spindle fibers shorten, pulling chromosomes to opposite ends of cell, and 4) telophase: chromosomes on opposite ends of cell, new nuclear envelopes form, spindle breaks down?'
500

Are homologous chromosomes also identical? Why or why not?

What is 'they should not be identical; if they are then that means the two parent organisms were very closely related?'
