This is an advantage to sexual reproduction.

What is genetic variation?

Why does DNA/chromosomes need to be replicated prior to mitosis?

If you don't replicate the DNA, the resulting cells will have half the DNA they are supposed to.

What do spindle fibers do during mitosis?

Attach to the centromere of the chromosomes and help pull them apart.

Yeast do this type of asexual reproduction.

What is budding?

300

What happens during the G2 stage of Interphase?

The cell rests and prepares for mitosis.

In anaphase, what are the chromosomes starting to do?

What is move away from each other?

Remember anaphase=away

Bacteria do this type of asexual reproduction?

What is binary fission?

400

Name a cell type that is always going through the cell cycle and one that never goes through the cell cycle.

Always: skin, lining cells

Never: nerves

What has to disappear during prophase and reform during telophase?

What is the nucleus or nuclear membrane?

400

What is this phase of mitosis?

400

Body cells that have two of each chromosome (one from mom and one from dad) Also any cells in the body that are not reproductive.

What are somatic cells?
