Cell Cycle
How many phases are in the cell cycle?
4
True or false: Mitosis is when cells duplicate their DNA
True
What is Meiosis?
A specialized form of cell division that occurs in reproductive cells to produce gametes with half the number of chromosomes
True or false: Cells are the building block of all life
True
How many Chromosomes do humans have?
23 pairs and 46 total Chromosomes
SELECT ALL OF THE ABOVE: Which of the following are life processes that connect with MITOSIS?
A. Reproduce B. Excrete
C. Respire D. Sense
A & C
True or False: The process of cellular reproduction is called Meiosis
False
How do cells replicate their DNA?
Cells replicate their DNA in a process called Mitosis
What is Cytokinesis?
It is part of the cell division process and part of mitosis during which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells.
How does Cellular Respiration connect with Mitosis?
The process of cell division requires energy, which is generated through cellular respiration, in the form of ATP
How do skin cells replicate or reproduce?
They reproduce through a process called mitosis, where a parent cell duplicates its contents including chromosomes and divides into two identical daughter cells
Which phase of cell division is when chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell? Hint: There a 4 phases
Metaphase
1. What is the major purpose for Mitosis?
2. How does this purpose connect with reproduce?
2. It replaces worn out cells with Mitosis
How does Osmosis connect with Cellular Reproduction?
The force exerted by water molecules, plays a role in regulating cell division and shape during mitosis
Name the 4 phases of Mitosis on order
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase
Name 3 example of Mitosis you see everyday
1. Skin cells dying
2. Hair growth
3. Wound healing
Give an argument on why Cellular Respiration connects with Meiosis
Cellular Respiration and Meiosis are interconnected because cellular respiration provides the energy (ATP) necessary to carry processes in Meiosis
