Chromosomes and Cellular Reproduction

Question 1

A unicellular organism with a relatively simple cell structure

Answer 1

Prokaryote

Question 2

Has a compartmentalized cell structure with components bounded by intracellular membranes. Can be unicellular or multicellular.

Answer 2

Eukaryote

Question 3

Have a singular chromosomes attached to the cell membrane.

Answer 3

Prokaryotic Cells

Question 4

Contain linear chromosomes with a nucleus

Answer 4

Eukaryotic cells

Question 5

The process by which a parent cell duplicates its genetic material and then divides to produce two daughter cells with similar genetic material.

Answer 5

Cellular Reproduction

Question 6

What are the three fundamental events for any cell to reproduce

Answer 6

(1) Its genetic information must be copied,
(2) the copies of the genetic information must be separated from each other, and (3) the cell must divide.

Question 7

Yes or No. Prokaryotic cell reproduction requires the process of “replication of the singular chromosomes”

Answer 7

Yes

Question 8

Yes or No. Prokaryotic cell reproduction requires the process of “cell division (binary fission)”

Answer 8

Yes

Question 9

Yes or No. Eukaryotic cell reproduction requires the process of “cell division (mitosis and meiosis)”

Answer 9

YESSS

Question 10

Two chromosomes together. Usually alike in structure and size, and each carries genetic information for the same set of hereditary characteristics.

Answer 10

Homologous pair

Question 11

Indicates how many sets of genetic information the cell possesses.

Answer 11

Ploidy

Question 12

Cells that carry two sets of genetic information

Answer 12

Diploid

Question 13

Contain a single set of chromosomes

Answer 13

Haploid

Question 14

Contain more that two sets of genetic information

Answer 14

Polyploid
