Microscopy
True or False? When using the Virtual Microscope, you can easily move from 4x magnification to 100x magnification.
False. It takes significant work to adjust from the lowest to the highest magnification.
Which is the longest phase of the Cell Cycle: Mitotic Phase or Interphase?
Interphase
DNA contains instructions for manufacturing _________.
Proteins
True or False? DNA Replication occurs before Mitosis.
True
True or False? You must use oil immersion when using the 100x magnification on the virtual microscope.
True
Which phase of the Cell Cycle does Cell Division occur: Mitotic Phase or Interphase?
Mitotic Phase
Thread-like structures composed of DNA and Proteins organized into Genes in the Nucleus of Cells. (HINT: Shaped like an X.)
Chromosomes
Where do Spindle Fibers attach onto Chromosomes?
Centromere
If you were fighting an infection, would you have more or less White Blood Cells? Why?
You would have more White Blood Cells because they help protect your body.
G1 and G2 Phases in Interphase are named "Gap 1" and "Gap 2" phases. Why is this?
Scientists used to think nothing occurred here.
Diploid Cells contain __________ set(s) of Chromosomes and there are _________ Chromosomes in each Human Diploid Cell. (HINT: Need 2 #'s.)
2; 46
Which structure releases Spindle Fibers?
Centrioles
When looking at the Blood Cells, most of the Cells shown were _______________ Cells, and only one ____________ Cell was shown. (Fill in blanks with: White Blood, Red Blood. (Not necessarily in that order.)
Red Blood; White Blood
Describe what occurs during the S Phase of Interphase.
DNA Replication
Haploid Cells contain __________ set(s) of Chromosomes and there are _________ Chromosomes in each Human Haploid Cell. (HINT: Need 2 #'s.)
1; 23
Prophase
When looking at the Plant Cell, you observed some tiny green dots responsible for Photosynthesis in the Plant Cell. What were these tiny green dots?
Chloroplasts
Name the four phases of Mitosis in order.
1. Prophase, 2. Metaphase, 3. Anaphase, 4. Telophase
Somatic Cells are produced during the process of ___________ and Gamete Cells are produced during the process of _____________. (HINT: Use the words Mitosis, Meiosis, but not necessarily in that order.)
Mitosis; Meiosis
How many Diploid Daughter Cells are produced at the end of Mitosis? Are these cells identical?
2 Diploid Daughter Cells are produced. Yes they are identical.
