Mitosis and Meiosis Review Advanced Biology Chapters 12 and 13

Round 1 Vocabulary

Question 1 • Non-reproductive cells in the body, such as a skin or muscle cell, are referred to as what type of cell?

Question 2 • How many chromosomes do human diploid cells have?

Question 3 • The complex of DNA and proteins that condense to form chromosomes during cell division is referred to as ________?

Question 4 • The narrow portion of a chromosome where two sister chromatids are attached is referred to as the ________________.

Question 5 • The division of the cytoplasm is called________.

Question 6 • The type of division that results in haploid non-identical daughter cells is called________.

Question 7 • Chromosomes align along the ______________ plate during metaphase of mitosis.

Question 8 • When homologous chromosomes are pulled together tightly during Prophase I of Meiosis it is referred to as a ________. Crossing over may occur as a result.

Question 9 • In animal cells during cytokinesis a _________ forms during the process of cytokinesis.

Question 10 • Microtubules attach to the __________ of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis II. This allows sister chromatid to be pulled apart and moved to opposite ends of the cell.

Round 2 Mitosis

Question 1 • What phase of the cell cycle makes up the greatest portion of a cell’s life?

Question 2 • I.D. the phase represented by letter A.

Question 3 • I.D. the structure represented by # 1

Question 4 • Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, reproduce by a type of mitosis referred to as _________.

Question 5 • A cell plate begins to form in _______ cells during _______ (phase name).

Question 6 • DNA is replicated during which point of Interphase?

Question 7 • Chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell during which phase of mitosis?

Question 8 • I.D. the phase in which the cell indicated below is in.

Round 3 Cancer

Question 1 • True or False: All cells divide at approximately the same rate.

Question 2 • Which checkpoint of the cell cycle seems to be the most important? If the cell passes through this checkpoint, it typically continues through the cell cycle and will eventually divide.

Question 3 • What will a call do if it does not receive the go-ahead signal at one of the checkpoints, of the cell cycle?

Question 4 • What do you call a cyclin-Cdk complex (as seen below) that triggers a cell’s passage past the G2 into the M phase of the cell cycle?

Question 5 • Cyclin concentration will be the highest at which of the following stages of the cell cycle? M, G1, S, or G2

Question 6 • If kinetochores do NOT attach to spindle microtubules a signal will be sent that delays what phase of mitosis?

Question 7 • PDGF stimulates the division of fibroblast cells in culture. PDGF is an example of a ______________.

Question 8 • What do you call a tumor of abnormal cells that does not move from the original site?

Question 9 • What do we call the process of cancerous cells invading nearby tissues?

Question 10 • Animal cells typically must be attached to a substratum in order to divide. This is a type of external signal known as _____________?

Round 4 Overview of Genetics

Question 1 • Sex cells such as sperm and egg are referred to as___________?

Question 2 • A population that contains very little genetic variation probably reproduces in what manner?

Question 3 • An ordered display of the pairs of chromosomes from a cell is referred to as a ________________.

Question 4 • The diploid number of chromosomes for a cat is 38. The cat’s gametes would contain how many chromosomes?

Question 5 • Think back to the case study you did online to follow up the mitosis/meiosis lab. Write the appropriate notation for the patient described. • Female, karyotype indicates a third #15 chromosome.

Question 6 • A fertilized egg is referred to as a _________.

Question 7 • Give an example of one type of organism in which the only diploid stage is the single-celled zygote.

Question 8 • True or False: Only diploid cells can undergo meiosis.

Question 9 • The specific location on a particular chromosome where a gene is located is known as the gene’s _________.
