Unit 6 & 7 Study Guide

Question 0

Prophase

Answer 0

1) Chromosome duplicated
2) the centrioles move to the opposite sides of cells
3) spindle forms
4) nuclear envelop breaks down

Question 1

Mitosis

Answer 1

is the phase of the cell cycle where cell division occurs

Question 2

Metaphase

Answer 2

1) chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell

Question 3

Anaphase

Answer 3

1) centromeres are pulled apart and the chromatids separate to become individual chromosomes
2) the chromosomes separate into two groups near the poles of the cell

Question 4

Interphase

Answer 4

Is the time between cell divisions; it consists of the G1, S, and G2 phases

Question 5

Stages of Mitosis in order:

Answer 5

1. Prophase
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
4. Telophase
5. Cytokinesis

Question 6

Cytokinesis

Answer 6

Is the final step in cell division, and completely separates the two daughters from each other

Question 7

Apoptosis

Answer 7

A process of programmed to cell death

Question 8

Cancer

Answer 8

a disorder in which body cells lose the ability to control cell growth

Question 9

Genetics

Answer 9

the scientific study of heredity

Question 10

Alleles

Answer 10

are different forms of a gene

Question 11

Dominant (R)

Answer 11

if 1 parent has a dominant allele, the offspring will exhibit that trait

Question 12

Recessive (r)

Answer 12

both parents need a recessive allele for the offspring to exhibit the trait

Question 13

Gametes

Answer 13

are sex cells, XX (female) and XY (male), the first X comes from mom, & second X or Y comes from dad

Question 14

Hybrid

Answer 14

changing the offspring by breeding plants with different characteristics

Question 15

Genes

Answer 15

contain characteristics passed from parent to offspring

Question 16

Heredity

Answer 16

the delivery of genes from parent to offspring

Question 17

Law of Segregation

Answer 17

the separation of alleles during gamete formation

Question 18

Law of Independent Assortment

Answer 18

when more than one gene is involved, the alleles will separate independently producing offspring that can have characteristics different from the parent

Question 19

Asexual Reproduction

Answer 19

the production of genetically identical offspring from a single parent

Question 20

Sexual reproduction

Answer 20

Offspring produced by inheriting genetic information from two parents

Question 21

Genotype

Answer 21

The genetic makeup of an organism or group of organisms with reference to a single trait, set of traits or, an entire complex of traits

Question 22

Heterozygous

Answer 22

different

Question 23

Homozygous

Answer 23

Same

Question 24

What term is used to describe the spread of cancer?

Answer 24

Metastasis

Question 25

What type of cell is produced after meiosis is complete?

Answer 25

Haploid
