What is the structural and functional unit of all living things?
What is cell?
In the cells of some organisms, mitosis occurs without cytokinesis. This will result in...?
Cells with more than one nucleus
During which stage of meiosis do the sister chromatids begin to move toward the poles?
What is anaphase ll?
During which phase does the number of chromosomes briefly double?
What is Anaphase?
Why interphase is not a resting phase?
The cell is living and preparing for later cell division
An organism or cell with two sets of chromosomes.
What is diploid?
What is a cleavage furrow?
A groove in the plasma membrane between daughter nuclei
When _______________ occurs between nonsister chromatids genetic exchange between chromosomes provides new combination of genes that are different from either parent.
What is crossing over?
What is the final phase of mitosis?
What is Telophase?
Why is interphase important before mitosis?
DNA is duplicated during interphase before the cell undergoes mitosis
The copying process by which a cell replicates its DNA.
What is replication?
What does kinesis mean?
What is division?
During which stage of mitosis does the nuclear envelope begin to disappear?
What is prophase?
If the chromosomes were not able to reproduce during the S phase of interphase, what would occur?
The cell could not divide
Do cells in interphase have condensed chromosomes?
During interphase, the cell's DNA is not condensed
Barrel shaped microtubules in most animal cells that organize the spindles during cell division.
What is centrioles?
What is primarily responsible for cytokinesis in plant cells but not in animal cells?
What is Golgi-derived vesicles?
In both mitosis and meiosis, sister chromatids seperate during anaphase, but there are _____ haploid daughter nuclei produced by meiosis compared to ______ diploid nuclei by mitosis.
4,2
What is a major event of prophase?
Chromosomes begin to condense
How do you know if a cell is in interphase?
During interphase, individual chromosomes are not visible, and the chromatin appears diffuse and unorganized.
A haploid cell
What is gamete?
What does cytokinesis look like in real life?
