| Mitosis |
| #1 |
What is Mitosis used for? |
cell growth/repair or asexual reproduction |
| #2 |
What happends to the cell's DNA during Interphase? |
It replicates |
| #3 |
What are the 5 phases of Cell Division? |
Cytokenesis, Anaphase, Prophase, Telophase and Metaphase |
| #4 |
List the 5 phases of Mitosis in order. |
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase and Cytokenesis. (P M A TC) |
| #5 |
What disappears in the cell during Prophase? |
The Nucleolus / Nucleus |
| Meiosis |
| #1 |
What are the phases in Meiosis I? |
Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I and Cytokenesis I |
| #2 |
How many chromosomes does a human body have in each somatic cell? |
46 (23 from mom and 23 from dad) |
| #3 |
What happends to homologous chromosomes during Meiosis I? |
Genetic material is exchanged in crossover |
| #4 |
What do chromosomes divide into during Meiosis II? |
Haploid Gametes |
| #5 |
How many times do the cell's divide? |
Twice, creating haploid gametes. |
| The Cell Cycle |
| #1 |
What happends in the first part of Interphase? |
The cell grows and perfoms it's normal functions. |
| #2 |
What happends in middle of Interphase? |
Synthesis, DNA is replicated |
| #3 |
What happends in final part of Interphase? |
Cell prepares for mitosis. |
| #4 |
What happens in Mitosis? |
The cell's nucleus and nuclear material divide. |
| #5 |
What happends in Cytokenesis? |
The cell's cytoplasm, divides creating a new cell. |
