Stages of Cell Cycle
Chromosome structure
Mitosis
Meiosis
Pick that Stage
100
Cell cytoplasm divides and new cell wall forms
What is cytokinesis?
100
Nucleic acid that makes up the bulk of a chromosome
What is DNA?
100
Chromosomes are unwinding and become enclosed in the nucleus, and the cell begins to divide
What is telophase?
100
Number of cells produced by meiosis
What is 4?
100
Phase during which homologous chromosomes separate
What is Anaphase I of meiosis?
200
The phase in Interphase where DNA is replicated
What is the S phase?
200
One half of a duplicated chromosome
What is a sister chromatid?
200
Chromosomes are lined up on the cell's equator
What is metaphase?
200
The phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs
What is prophase I?
200
Phase where sister chromatids line up at the cell's equator
What is Metaphase II of meiosis?
300
The cell grows and carries out normal activities after division has occurred
What is the G1 phase?
300
Holds two sister chromatids together
What is a centromere?
300
The longest phase in mitosis where chromosomes condense
What is prophase?
300
Chromosomes just before meiosis = 12
Chromosomes just after meiosis I =
What is 6?
Note that there are 12 sister chromatids, but only 6 chromosomes
300
Stage in meiosis where the cells transition from diploid to haploid
What is telophase I?
400
The stage that includes G1, S, and G2
What is interphase?
400
Long, thin fibers of DNA and proteins
What is a chromatin?
400
Chromatids are pulled apart and become individual chromosomes
What is anaphase?
400
Types of cells where meiosis takes place
What are gametes?
400
Difference between metaphase II of meiosis and metaphase of mitosis.
Basically the same, except in metaphase II of meiosis only half of the original chromosomes are left to line up. Sister chromatids separate in both.
500
Phase of cell preparation before final division occurs
What is the G2 phase?
500
Proteins found in cell nuclei that package and organize the DNA
What is a histone?
500
Type of cells where mitosis takes place
What are body cells or autosomes?
500
Genetic law that states that the alleles of two (or more) different genes get separated into gametes independently of one another. In other words, the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.
What is law of independent assortment?
