The majority portion of the cell cycle
Interphase
one set of chromosomes
haploid
List the phases of mitosis in order
PMAT
(incorrect if interphase or cytokinesis are mentioned)
Meiosis has how many rounds of Interphase?
1
The cell cycle has _________ that halt the progression of the cell cycle if something is not right. (the generic term; not the enzyme/enzyme complex)
checkpoints
The portion of the Cell Cycle commonly known as Cell Division; consists of Mitosis and Cytokinesis
M-phase
2 sets of chromosomes, 1 from each parent
diploid
the end product of mitosis
2 identical (2n) daughter cells
The end product of meiosis
4 gametes
(non-identical, haploid daughter cells)
Mitochondrial DNA, and those associated traits are only passed on by which parent?
Mom
The three portions of Interphase, as singular letter (and number) abbreviations
G1, S, G2
if an organism has 31 chromosomes in its gametes, what is it's diploid number? Answer must use proper notation.
2n=62
What can we say about the shape of the cell during anaphase?
it gets longer
How do we describe the chromosomes that line up next to each other during Metaphase I and subsequently split during Anaphase I?
Homologous Pairs
In Meiosis, when chromosomes separate incorrectly, it is called nondisjunction. A common example of this is Down Syndrome, marked by the trisomy of which chromosome pair?
trisomy 21
DNA is in this form during Interphase
chromatin
n=19, how many chromosomes are in a diploid cell?
38
The phase after the last phase of mitosis, that completes cell division
cytokinesis
What separates in Meiosis II?
specific protein that halts the cell cycle if there is damage (activated by cyclins and CDKs)
p53
The portion of the cell cycle that includes the division of the genetic material
Mitosis
Mitosis and Meiosis both start with ___ cells.
diploid
In telophase:
1. chromosomes ________ to _______
2. the nuclear membrane _________
3. the cell membrane __________
1. chromosomes decondense to chromatin
2. the nuclear membrane reforms
3. the cell membrane (starts to) pinch inBefore crossing over can occur, ____________ ______ must overlap to form a ______, and the resulting chromosomes (S.C's) are now referred to as _____________
Homologous pairs, tetrad, recombinant
The cytoplasm is distributed unequally in egg cells during meiosis; producing 1 __ and 3 __; name either.
oocyte or polar bodies
