question
Nucleoli are present during _____.
answer
interphase, Nucleoli are present during interphase.
question
Cytokinesis often, but not always, accompanies _____.
answer
telophase, Cytokinesis often, but not always, accompanies telophase.
question
Chromosomes become visible during _____.
answer
prophase, During prophase, the chromatin fibers become discrete chromosomes.
question
Centromeres divide and sister chromatids become full-fledged chromosomes during _____.
answer
anaphase, During anaphase, sister chromatids separate and daughter chromosomes migrate to opposite poles.
question
Spindle fibers attach to kinetochores during _____.
answer
prometaphase, Attachment of spindle fibers to kinetochores is one of the events of prometaphase.
question
anaphase
answer
During anaphase centromeres come apart, and sister chromatids become full-fledged chromosomes, which migrate to opposite poles of the cell.
question
cytokinesis as it occurs in animal cells
answer
Cytokinesis in animal cells involves the formation of a cleavage furrow.
question
prophase
answer
Events of prophase include the condensation of chromatin and the dispersal of nucleoli.
question
metaphase
answer
During metaphase chromosomes align along the metaphase plate.
question
prometaphase
answer
The events of prometaphase include the attachment of spindle fibers to kinetochores.
question
cytokinesis as it occurs in plant cells
answer
Cytokinesis in plant cells involves the formation of a cell plate.
question
telophase
answer
During telophase both nuclear envelopes and nucleoli re-form.
question
During prophase a homologous pair of chromosomes consists of _____.
answer
two chromosomes and four chromatids At this point each of the chromosomes consists of two chromatids.
question
During _____ both the contents of the nucleus and the cytoplasm are divided.
answer
the mitotic phase, The mitotic phase encompasses both mitosis and cytokinesis.
question
During _____ the cell grows and replicates both its organelles and its chromosomes.
answer
interphase, These are the events of interphase.
question
Cytokinesis in plant cells occurs through the formation of a:
answer
Cell Plate,
question
During which stage of mitosis do the sister chromatids move away from each other?
answer
Anaphase
question
If a cell contained 12 chromosomes, during Interphase, how many chromosomes would be present during Anaphase?
answer
24
question
Measurements of the amount of DNA per nucleus were taken on a large number of cells from a growing fungus. The measured DNA levels ranged from 3 to 6 picograms per nucleus. One nucleus had 4 picograms of DNA. What phase of the cell cycle was this nucleus most likely in?
answer
S
question
All of the following occur during mitotic prophase:
answer
The mitotic spindle is organized. The centrioles move apart. The nuclear envelope disappears. The nucleolus disintegrates.
question
Replicated chromosomes can be found during which of the following stages of the cell cycle?
answer
Metaphase
question
asexual reproduction
answer
A single individual is reproducing.
question
Human gametes are produced by _____.
answer
meiosis, Meiosis produces haploid gametes from a diploid parental cell.
question
Normal human gametes carry _____ chromosomes.
answer
23, This is the number of chromosomes in a single set of human chromosomes.
question
A diploid organism whose somatic (nonsex) cells each contain 32 chromosomes produces gametes containing _____ chromosomes.
answer
16, 16 is half of 32.
question
Meiosis I produces _____ cells, each of which is _____.
answer
two ... haploid, At the end of meiosis I there are two haploid cells.
question
Meiosis II typically produces _____ cells, each of which is _____.
answer
four ... haploid At the end of meiosis II there are typically 4 haploid cells.
question
prophase II
answer
The events of prophase II are essentially the same as those of mitotic prophase except that prophase II cells are haploid.
question
anaphase II
answer
During anaphase II sister chromatids separate and migrate to opposite poles.
question
telophase II and cytokinesis
answer
Four haploid cells are present at the end of telophase II and cytokinesis.
question
During _____ sister chromatids separate.
answer
anaphase II Anaphase II is essentially the same as mitotic anaphase except that the cell is haploid.
question
telophase I and cytokinesis
answer
At the end of telophase I and cytokinesis there are two haploid cells.
question
At the end of _____ and cytokinesis, haploid cells contain chromosomes that each consist of two sister chromatids.
answer
telophase I At the end of telophase I and cytokinesis, there are two haploid cells with chromosomes that consist of two sister chromatids each.
question
prophase I
answer
Homologous chromosomes pair during prophase I..
question
metaphase II
answer
Metaphase II is essentially the same as mitotic metaphase except that the cells are haploid.
question
metaphase I
answer
During metaphase I tetrads align along the metaphase plate.
question
prophase I
answer
Synapsis, the pairing of homologous chromosomes, occurs during prophase I.
question
Homologous chromosomes migrate to opposite poles during _____.
answer
anaphase I During anaphase I sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres, and homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles.
question
During _____ chromosomes align single file along the equator of a haploid cell.
answer
metaphase II Metaphase II is essentially the same as mitotic metaphase except that the cell is haploid.
question
anaphase I
answer
During anaphase I homologous chromosomes, consisting of sister chromatids, migrate to opposite poles.
question
telophase II
answer
At the end of telophase II and cytokinesis there are four haploid cells.
question
During _____ a spindle forms in a haploid cell.
answer
prophase II Prophase II is essentially the same as mitotic prophase except that the cells are haploid.
question
interphase
answer
During interphase the centrosome duplicates and the chromosomes are not condensed.
