level questions: Mitosis & Meiosis

QuestionAnswer
What are 2 types of cell division in animals?Mitosis and Meiosis.
How many daughter cells does Mitosis produce?Two.
What are the daughter cells produced by Mitosis called?Diploid cells.
True/false: Diploid cells are exact copies of their parents.True.
How many daughter cells does Meiosis produce?Four.
What are the daughter cells produced by Meiosos called?Haploid Cells.
How many chromosomes do diploid cells have?46 chromosomes each (23 pairs)
True/false: Haploid cells have 22 chromosomes each.False - They have 23 each
Why does Meiosis produce 4 daughter cells?Because there are 2 divisions
What are the 6 stages of Mitosis?Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
What happens during prophase?A cells genetic DNA condenses
What happens during Metaphase?The duplicated chromosomes line up and spindle fibers connect to the centromeres.
What happens during Anaphase?Sister chromatids separate and move toward the centrioles.
What happens in telophase?Chromosomes begin to unwind and the nuclear envelope reforms.
What happens during Cytokinesis in animal cells?The cell membrane draws in and pinches off.
What happens during Cytokinesis in plant cells?A cell plate forms followed by a new cell membrane
Which stage is the image an example of?Prophase
Which stage is the image an example of?Metaphase
Which stage is the image an example of?Anaphase
Which stage is the image an example of?Telophase
What type of cell division does the image depict?The graph depicts the process of meiosis. The amount of DNA in each nucleus at the conclusion of the process is half of the amount of DNA that was present in the parent cell prior to DNA replication.
What happens in Prophase II?Chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down, if needed. The centrosomes move apart, the spindle forms between them, and the spindle microtubules begin to capture chromosomes.
What happens in Metaphase II?The chromosomes condense and become distinguishable as they align along the metaphase plate through the facilitation of the spindle fibers in the center of the dividing cell.
What happens in Anaphase II?The stage when sister chromatids of every chromosome separate and begin to move towards the opposite ends of the cell
What happens in Telophase II?Nuclear membranes form around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes decondense.
What happens in the final stage of meiosis?Cytokinesis splits the chromosome sets into new cells, forming the final products of meiosis: four haploid cells in which each chromosome has just one chromatid.
