Budding
__________ is the method of cell division that produces haploid cells.
Meiosis
True or False: Bacteria reproduce through budding, not mitosis.

Genome
DNA is arranged in structures called ______________
Arranged in structures called chromosomes
True or False: Humans have 46 chromosomes
True.
True or False: Humans have 46 chromosome pairs
False. Humans have 23 PAIRS of chromosomes, totaling 46
True or False: Humans have 23 chromosomes
False. False. Humans have 23 PAIRS of chromosomes, totaling 46
True or False: Humans have 23 chromosome pairs.
True.
When you see chromosomes arranged and numbered in this manner, what is it called?
A karyotype
A ___________ is one of the threadlike "packages" of genes and other DNA in the nucleus of a cell.
Chromosome
What is a chromosome?
Long, linear DNA molecule with associated proteins (chromatin)
Chromosomes replicate prior to cell division
but remain attached at ___________
centromere
What are "sister chromatids"?
Two copies of a chromosome attached at a centromere, awaiting cell division.
What causes the chromosomes to become visible prior to cell division?
The chromosomes condense, packing themselves tighter than usual.
True or False: Chromosomes look like X's most of the time.
False. Chromosomes only look like X's when they are awaiting cell reproduction. The rest of the time they are in prophase, and are composed of single strands of DNA
True or False: A homologous pair of chromosomes contains the same genetic information.
False. A homologous pair of chromosomes is composed of genetic information from both mother and father. They each contain information that codes for the same TRAITS (e.g. hair color, eye color, height), although the specific genetic information may be different.
True or False: A homologous pair of chromosomes codes for the same traits.
True.
True or False: In a homologous pair of chromosomes, one comes from the mother, and one comes from the father.
True.
_____________ composes 90% of the cell cycle.
