Interphase | Mitosis | Meiosis | Potpourri | Cartoons |
---|---|---|---|---|
What is S phase?
At the end of this phase, the cell nucleus contains two complete sets of DNA.
|
What is prophase?
During this stage, the chromosomes condense and become identifiable.
|
What are gametes?
Meiosis occurs in the reproductive organs and produces these types of haploid cells.
|
What are diploid cells?
Cells with two of each chromosome
are called these cells. |
Who is Snoopy?
This lovable beagle can always be found with his best friend Woodstock.
|
What are gap stages?
During the stages, cells grow and perform normal cellular functions
|
What is cytokinesis?
Once mitosis is complete, the cell divides its cytoplasm into two new identical daughter cells through this process.
|
What is 4?
Meiosis produces this number of daughter cells.
|
What is metaphase?
During this stage, chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell.
|
What is Kim Possible?
This show about a crime-fighting teen girl also included sidekicks Ron Stoppable and Rufus, a naked mole rat.
|
What is G0?
Also known as a resting phase, cells enter this stage when they are not preparing to divide.
|
What is 46?
This is how many chromosomes would you expect a muscle cell to have after mitosis.
|
What is 23?
Humans have 46 chromosomes in each body cell. This is the number of chromosomes, however, that will be in each gamete cell after meiosis.
|
What is sexual reproduction?
This type of reproduction creates offspring that are different from both parents and genetically unique.
|
What is Rugrats?
This cartoon followed the daily lives of toddlers Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica, and twins Phil and Lil,
|
What is DNA replication?
This is described as a semi-conservative process since each set of DNA contains 1 old strand and 1 new strand.
|
What are centrioles?
These small organelles organize the spindle fibers that move the chromosomes during mitosis.
|
What is crossing over?
Genetic variations are increased even further during meiosis through this process.
|
What is cancer?
This disease results when human body cells lose the ability to respond to internal regulatory signals that control cell growth.
|
What is Scooby Doo?
This scaredy-cat Great Dane spends all his time eating and solving mysteries with his friends.
|
What is DNA polymerase?
During S stage, this enzyme adds nucleotides to create two complete and identical sets of DNA.
|
What is a cell plate?
During mitosis, this divides the cytoplasm in plants but not in animals.
|
What is nondisjunction?
This occurs when chromosomes fail to separate properly during meiosis.
|
What is apoptosis?
Also known as programmed cell death, if serious mistakes occur during mitosis, most cells go through this process.
|
Who is Goku?
This spiky-haired character has a signature finishing attack called the Kamehameha.
