100
What is the part of the cell cycle where 1 normal body cell divides into 2 identical cells?
mitosis
100
Explain: What is mitosis?
cell division
100
What type of cells are produced by meiosis?
gametes OR reproductive cells OR eggs/sperm
100
What are chromosomes?
DNA (and proteins) in the from of an X
100
What do you observe in this picture?
a chromosome
200
What is the part of the cell cycle where the cytoplasm divides?
cytokinesis
200
What are 3 functions of mitosis? (In other words, what are 3 reasons living things need mitosis?)
to grow, repair, or develop (old, damaged cells)
200
How many cells are produced by meiosis?
4
200
What are gametes?
reproductive cells (eggs and sperm)
200
What phase of the cell cycle is shown in this picture? 
metaphase
300
What parts of the cell cycle are not parts of mitosis/cell division?
interphase and cytokinesis
300
What are the 4 phases of mitosis?
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
300
How many phases (parts) does meiosis have?
8 (prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, telophase 1, prophase 2, metaphase 2, anaphase 2, and telophase 2)
300
Explain the difference between diploid and haploid.
diploid is when a cell has full chromosomes, with two parts of each
haploid is when a cell has only 1/2 the quantity of DNA of one half of each chromosome
300
What phase of the cell cycle is shown in this picture? 
prophase
400
What happens during the G1 and G2 phases of interphase?
the cell grows / does normal functions
400
What happens during metaphase?
the chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell
400
What happens during telophase 2?
4 haploid daughter cells start to form, so their are still 2 cells that haven't divided with 4 nuclei. Cytoplasm has not yet separated.
400
Somatic cells are also called _______ and are involved in which process?
Body cells, Mitosis
400
Is this mitosis or meiosis? How do you know?
meiosis because it's producing 4 genetically different haploid cells that contain 23 chromosomes.
500
What happens during the S phase of interphase?
DNA is duplicated/copied
500
What happens during anaphase?
the chromosomes are separated / pulled apart
500
How are the cells produced by meiosis different from the cells produced by mitosis? (2 answers!)
the cells produced by meiosis have only 1/2 (haploid) the DNA (chromosomes)
the cells produced by meiosis are genetically different from each other
500
What is crossing over and why is it important?
Chromosomes (tetrad) exchanging genetic information to create more genetic diversity. You want to be more genetically diverse to have healthy genes.
500
What phase do you observe in this picture? 
anaphase 2
