Gametes undergo mitosis or meiosis? - Answer Meiosis
Gametes are non-reproductive or reproductive cells? - Answer Reproductive
Somatic Cells undergo mitosis or meiosis? - Answer Mitosis
Which type of cell is non-reproductive? - Answer Somatic Cells
All of the DNA or genetic material in a cell is called what? - Answer Genome
A genome with a single DNA molecule is what type of cell? - Answer Prokaryotic cell
A genome with multiple DNA molecules is what type of cell? - Answer Eukaryotic cell
DNA molecules in a cell are packaged into what? - Answer Chromosomes
Each duplicated cells has _________________ , joined identical copies of the original
_____________. - Answer two sister chromatids.
chromosome.
Once the two sister chromatids are separate, the chromatids are called _______________. -
Answer Chromosomes
Eukaryotic cell division consists of what two events? - Answer 1. Mitosis, the division of
genetic material in the nucleus
2. Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm.
What is produced by a variation of cell division called meiosis? - Answer Gametes
, The cell grows during each sub-phase of interphase, but chromosomes are only duplicated
during which sub-phase? - Answer S phase
Name the five phases of mitosis. - Answer (PMAT): Prophase, Pro-metaphase, Metaphase,

chromosomes movement.
During interphase, what replicates? - Answer Centersome
After two centersomes are formed during interphase and they have migrated to opposite ends
of the cell. In which phase(s) does this take place? - Answer Prophase and Pro-metaphase

Aster
What all does the spindle include? - Answer Centersomes, spindle microtubules and the
aster.

structure at the midway point between the spindles two poles. - Answer Metaphase plate
Chromosomes can also be ____________ by motor proteins at spindle poles. - Answer
Reeled in
What happens at the end of anaphase? - Answer duplicate groups of chromosomes have
arrived at opposite ends of the elongated parent cell.
