What are various forms of asexual reproduction?
During prophase of mitosis, each chromosome of a eukaryotic cell consists of a pair of identical
structures joined together called, what are the structures called?
The diploid chromosome complement of a human somatic cell consists of how many
chromosomes?
What are the regular processes that occur(s) during interphase?
The process by which the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell divides to produce two cells is called?
During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up on a plane located equidistant from
the two spindle poles (on the equator)?
What are the processes that occur(s) during mitotic anaphase?
What are the features of plant cell division that distinguishes it from animal cell division?
What are the proper progressions of stages in the cell life cycle?
What phase of the cell life cycle represents the phase between divisions?
During which sub-phase of the above phase does DNA actually replicate?
Which of the following is not a factor that contributes to genetic variation in the process of
sexual reproduction?
A disease that is caused by cells getting their signals crossed and dividing out of control is called
what?
What are all of the body’s cells with the exception of the sex cells called?
Two chromosomes in a nucleus that carry loci for the same traits in the same position on the
chromosome but specify different versions of the traits constitutes a pair of?
In humans, the 22 pairs of chromosomes that do not include the sex chromosomes are called?
What is the consequence of a reproductive system that is based on the union of haploid gametes?
Among differences between mitosis and meiosis; two daughter cells are produced in which
division and four daughter cells are produced in which division?
Cells produced by which division are haploid and cells produced by which division are diploid?
In which division does the parent cell divide once, whereas in this division the parent cell divides
twice?
When a cell undergoes meiosis, the chromosomes duplicate during which of the phases?
During which stage of meiosis does synapsis and the formation of tetrads occur?
The behavior of a pair of homologous chromosomes splitting up into two pairs of sister
chromatids, one pair (a chromosome) going to each pole of the dividing cell, occurs during
which stage of meiosis?
During which of the stages of meiosis are homologous chromosomes lined up in pairs in the
center of the cell?
The phase of mitosis during which the nuclear envelope fragments, the nucleoli disappear, DNA
condenses and spindles start to form is called?
Meiosis and mitosis are types of?
During which phase of mitosis, meiosis I and meiosis II does the nuclear envelope reform?
What is the function of the microtubule-organizing center (centrioles)?
The cells in the human body responsible for the formation of the gametes are called?
The event called Crossing Over occurs during which stage of meiosis?
Is DNA is replicated again between telophase I and prophase II?
Which division of meiosis is most similar to mitosis?
This is an event that occurs during meiosis that can result in gaining whole chromosomes?
This is an event that occurs during meiosis that can result in losing whole chromosomes?
Also called the “resting phase” of the cell, this phase is the longest in the cell life cycle and is
called?
During which phase of meiosis does each chromosome get pulled away from its homologue and
end up at the opposite spindle poles of the cell?
Of all four phases for mitosis, which is the longest and most complex?
Two chromosomes, each with similar genes and one from each parent, are referred to as a what
pair?
One of the most important events that occur during meiosis, in which pieces of non-sister
chromatids from paired chromosomes break off and switch places producing new chromosomes,
is called?
What are the two generations to a plant life cycle called?
The gametophyte generation is responsible for producing the?
The sporophyte generation is responsible for producing the?
Which generation of the plant life cycle engages in meiosis?
