What Option Do Cells Choose When Doing Their Laundry?
The Cell Cycle
100

During this phase, sister chromatids are separated for the first time by the spindle apparatus

What is anaphase?

100

The products of a spermatocyte having undergone meiosis

What are four genetically different haploid cells?

100

A body cell that continues dividing even though the tissue in which it resides has become overcrowded is ignoring this growth control mechanism

What is density-dependent inhibition?

100

This structure is where the two sister chromatids are joined together

What is the centromere?

100

In plants a cell plate forms and separates the two cells during this process

What is cytokinesis?

200

The duplicated chromosomes line up down the middle of the cell during this phase

What is metaphase?

200

Three of the products of an oocyte having undergone meiosis are these

What are polar bodies?

200

The main biological advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction

What is the offspring have more genetic diversity?

200

This organelle produces the spindle fibers that move the chromosomes during mitosis

What is the centriole?

200

During this, DNA is in the form of chromatin and the cell is performing its normal activities

What is interphase?

300

The nucleus finishes dividing during this phase and the nuclear membrane reforms around each set of chromosomes

What is telophase?

300

Meiosis is used for this type of reproduction

What is sexual reproduction?

300

A mass of body cells that grows and divides uncontrollably, but is encapsulated within a layer of connective tissue and does not spread

What is a benign tumor?

300

A pair of the same number chromosome with one coming from each parent

What are homologous chromosomes?

300

These two parts of the cell cycle are not actually part of mitoisis

What are interphase and cytokinesis?

400

Chromatin condenses into chromosomes and the nucleolus disappears during this phase

What is prophase?

400

Meiosis occurs in this type of cell

What are gametic cells?

400

The products of a spermatogonium having undergone mitosis

What are two genetically identical diploid cells?

400

Mitosis occurs in this type of cell

What are somatic cells?

400

During this process, the cytoplasm of the cell divides, forming a cleavage furrow in animals

What is cytokinesis?

500

This is the first phase of mitosis

What is prophase?

500

One major disadvantage of sexual reproduction as opposed to asexual reproduction

What is it requires more energy?

500

The male gametes

What are sperm?

500

Looking at a slide of root tip cells, most of them would be in this stage

What is interphase?

500

During this part of interphase the cell duplicates its DNA

What is the S phase?
