Whichof these is absolutely necessary for sexual reproduction but it is notnecessary for organisms that reproduceasexually?

meiosis

Ifone organism have 50 chromosomes, howmany of these come from the father?

25

Theoffspring of two individuals usually receivesone gene for each trait from

each of the parents

Eukaryoticcells spend most of their cell cycle in which phase?

interphase

Beforemitosis can take place

theDNA must duplicate

Sisterchromatids are

tightlylinked together at a centromere

Maturehuman nerve cells and muscle cells

are permanently in a state ofnon-division because they cease dividing after maturing.

Thenumber of chromosomes found in a eukaryotic cell

iscut in half by meiosis

Whichof the following best describes what occurs during interphase?

cell growth and duplication of thechromosomes

Whatis mitosis?

the process of nuclear division thatreduces the number of chromosomes in theresulting cells by half

Duringwhich phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up on a plane locatedequidistant from the two spindle poles?

metaphase

Duringwhich phase of mitosis does the nuclear envelope re-form, the spindle breaksapart and the nucleoli reappear?

telophase

Which of the following is not a stage ofmitosis?

interphase

Whichof the following is likely to account for the difference between plant andanimal cell cytokinesis?

Plant cell division must maintain the integrity of the cell wall.

Abenign tumor differs from a malignant tumor in that a benign tumor

does not metastasize.

Sexualreproduction in plants and animals involves the production of gametes through aspecial type of division called

meiosis

If aparent cell has 16 chromosomes and undergoes meiosis, the resulting cells willhave how many chromosomes?

8

If a parent cell has 16 chromosomesand undergoes mitosis, how many chromosomes will each resulting cell have?

16

Theproduct of meiosis in an animal is

gamete

Homologouschromosomes

A. may exchange parts during meiosis


B. have alleles for the samecharacteristics even though the gene expression may not be the same


C. are in pairs, one chromosome fromthe father and one from the mother


D. pair up in meiosis

Homologouschromosomes___

prophaseI and metaphase I

Mitosisresults in _____ while meiosis results in _______.

two diploid cells; four gametes

Akaryotype

isa visual display of chromosomes arranged by pairs

control of the cell cycle

Homologouschromosomes exchange segments during____

prophaseI

Whenhomologous chromosomes or sister chromatids fail to separate duringmeiosisthis is__

nondisjunction

XX

Aslightly different form of a gene or another member of a given pair is called

alleles

Whatevent typically begins by the end of telophase in mitosis?

cytokinesis

Whatis the function of cyclin-dependent kinase complexes?

restraining the growth and divisionof the cell

Withthe exception of identical twins, siblings who have the same two biologicalparents are likely to look similar, but not identical, to each other becausethey have
