What type of cells undergoes Meiosis? What type of cell undergoes Mitosis? - Meiosis:
gamete cells
Mitosis: somatic cells
What are homologous chromosomes? - Pairs of chromosomes of similar size and shape
that carry the same genes. but may have different alleles.
Sperm cell is haploid or diploid? - haploid
Liver cell is haploid or diploid? - diploid
Egg cell is haploid or diploid? - haploid
stomach cell is haploid or diploid? - diploid
If the diploid number in a liver cell is 52, how many chromosomes are there in the egg of this
organism? - 26 chromosomes
During mitosis (asexual reproduction), the chromosome number: - remains the same
During meiosis (sexual reproduction), the chromosome number: - is reduced
Cells starting mitosis and meiosis begin with a haploid or diploid set of chromosomes? -
diploid
How many times do cells divide during meiosis? - 2
What are the stages of mitosis called? - prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, telophase
1, (cytokinesis)
, What are the stages of meiosis called? - Prophase 2, Metaphase 2, Anaphase 2,
Telophase 2, cytokinesis
What best describes "crossing over"? - An exchange of information between two
homologous chromosomes.
Crossing over can be found in the stage of.... - Prophase 1
Which represents mitosis? - A diploid cells diving into 2 diploid cells.
Which represents meiosis? - A diploid cell dividing into 4 haploid cells.
Is DNA copied before Meiosis 2? - No.
How many cells form at the end of Meiosis 2 and how many chromosomes do they contain?
(diploid or haploid) - 4 cells and haploid.
A sperm cell is a gamete or a zygote and is haploid or diploid? - gamete and haploid.
When a sperm cell and an ovum/egg fuse, they undergo the process of fertilization, and give
rise to a gamete or zygote, which is haploid or diploid? - zygote and diploid.
What is the ultimate goal/purpose of mitosis? What term do we use to describe the new cells? -
Repair, growth, and reproduction; daughter cells.
Describe cancer. - Uncontrolled cell division; occurs when cell cycle is not closely
regulated or mutation occurs.
What is the difference between chromosomes, chromotids, and homologous chromosomes? -
Chromosomes are the condensed form of chromatid. Chromotin is uncondensed form of
chromosomes. Speghatti Homologous chromosomes are sister chromatids.
How are DNA and chromosomes related? - Chromosomes are composed of or carry DNA.
What is the difference between a haploid, diploid, and zygote? - Haploid: One set of
chromosomes; gametes
Diploid: Two sets of chromosomes; somatic cells
Zygote: 2 haploid gametes fuse during fertilization to form a diploid cell (zygote)
