What occurs during prophase (mitosis)? - nuclear envelope breaks, mitotic spindle begins
to form.
Which events occur during prophase? - The nuclear envelope breaks down.
Chromosomes condense
In sexually reproducing multicellular organisms, the main functions of mitosis are ____ -
growth and development
tissue repair/replacement of damaged cells
Cytokinesis _____ - finishes mitosis
divides cytoplasm & organelles of the original parent cell into 2 separate daughter cells
During _____, the cell carries out its normal functions and the chromosomes are thinly spread
out throughout the nucleus. - Interphase
Gametes are produced by - Meiosis, it produces haploid gametes from a diploid parental
cell.
Normal human gametes have _____ chromosomes. - 23
A diploid organism whose somatic (nonsex) cells each contain 32 chromosomes produces
gametes containing _____ chromosomes. - 16
Homologous chromosomes _____ - carry genes controlling the same inherited
characteristics, but may have different alleles
best description of the events of anaphase I? - sister chromatids remain attached at their
centromeres and move together toward the poles
, What must happen before a cell can begin mitosis? - Chromosomes must be duplicated
centrosomes move away from each other & the nuclear envelope BREAKS up in which phase of
mitosis? - Prophase
The sister chromatids separate and begin moving toward opposite poles of the cell during which
phase of mitosis? - Anaphase
chromosomes arrive at the poles & nuclear envelopes FORMS(opposite of prophase) during
which phase of mitosis? - Telophase
At the end of the mitotic (M) phase, the cytoplasm divides in a process called
_________________. - Cytokinesis
Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical.
This type of cell division is important for all of the following functions EXCEPT -
production of sperm and egg
In anaphase the sister chromatids - become separate chromosomes
Homologous chromosomes ______. - carry genes that control the same inherited
characteristics
meiosis produces _____ sperm and egg cells - haploid
Pairing of homologous chromosomes is followed by - crossing over, the exchange of
genetic material between nonsister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.
Meiosis I produces _____ cells, each of which is _____. (Consider ONLY Meiosis I.) -
two...haploid
At the end of Meiosis II typically there are _____ cells, each of which is _____. - four,
haploid
During what phase do sister chromatids seperate - anaphase
Synapsis occurs during - Meoisis 1, Prophase 1
Homologous chromosomes migrate to opposite poles during ___ - Anaphase 1
a duplicated chromosome consists of two - sister chromatids
What chromosomes belong to a typical human female? - 44 autosomes and 2 X
chromosomes
