Which metaphase is it?
Miscellaneous
100
Super-coiled DNA that is visible in a light microscope.
What is a chromosome?
100
This process is used for growth, repair, and replacement of cells.
What is mitosis?
100
The cell spends the majority of its time in this phase.
What is interphase?
100
Chromosomes align along the metaphase plate. They are made of identical sister chromatids.
What is metaphase (in mitosis)?
100
This organelle uses an electron transport chain to make ATP in plant and animal cells.
What is a mitochondrion?
200
DNA that is not super-coiled. It can be used by the cell to make proteins.
What is chromatin?
200
This is the process used for germ cells to produce gametes.
What is meiosis?
200
This is a cell cycle stage where cells never divide.
What is G0 (gap zero)?
200
Chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate. The sister chromatids may not be identical because of crossing over.
What is metaphase II?
200
This organelle is responsible for using an mRNA template to make a protein (polypeptide).
What is a ribosome?
300
These are identical copies of DNA strands.
What are sister chromatids?
300
These are the ways that meiosis promotes variation in a population.
What are independent assortment and crossing over?
300
This is a consequence of loss of cell cycle control.
What is cancer? (tumor growth)
300
Homologous chromosomes (tetrads) align along the metaphase plate.
What is metaphase I?
300
What is this?
What is an amino acid?
400
These are lengths of DNA that have the same genes in the same order, but may have different alleles (variations of a gene).
What are homologous chromosomes?
400
This happens when the surface area to volume ratio gets too small in a prokaryotic cell.
What is binary fission?
400
This is the type of macromolecule that sends signals to control the cell cycle.
What are proteins?
400
Centromeres of each homolog attach to spindle fibers.
What is metaphase I?
400
What is this?
What is glucose?
500
This structure is the building block (monomer) of a nucleic acid.
What is a nucleotide?
500
This is the result of sister chromatids that do not separate during anaphase.
What are gametes with the wrong number of chromosomes?
500
Cobras have 36 chromosomes. This is the number of chromosomes in the gametes of cobras following meiosis.
What is 18?
(half=haploid)
500
Centromeres of sister chromatids are attached to spindle fibers. Hint- two answers
What are metaphase (mitosis) and metaphase II?
500
This theory explains how prokaryotic cells became eukaryotic cells.
What is the endosymbiotic theory?
