Cellular and Sexual Reproduction Quiz
Preview:
Second main stage of the cell cycle during which the cell’s replicated DNA divides and two genetically identical diploid daughter cells are produced.
A. Mitosis
B. Meiosis
C. Cellular Differentiation
D. Nondisjunction
One of the two paired chromosomes, one from each parent, that carries genes for a specific trait at the same location.
A. Gene
B. Homologous Chromosome
C. Gamete
D. Sex Chromosome
Cell with half the number of chromosomes (n)
A. Haploid
B. Diploid
Cell division in which the sister chromatids do not separate correctly, resulting in gametes with an abnormal number of chromosomes.
A. Cellular Differentiation
B. Nondisjunction
C. Crossing Over
D. Telomere
Cancer-causing substance.
A. Stem Cell
B. Carcinogen
C. Cyclin-dependent kinase
D. Cyclin
Repeating subunit of chromatin fibers, consisting of DNA coiled around histones.
A. Chromatin
B. Chromosome
C. Nucleosome
D. Cell Cycle
Chromosome that is not a sex chromosome.
A. Autosome
B. Gamete
C. Allele
D. Telomere
A haploid sex cell, formed during meiosis, that can combine with another haploid sex cell and produce a diploid fertilized egg.
A. Autosome
B. Sex Chromosome
C. Gamete
D. Gene
Cell structure that joins two sister chromatids.
A. Telomere
B. Centromere
C. Chromosome
D. Chromatin
Structure made of spindle fibers, centrioles, and aster fibers that is involved in moving and organizing chromosomes before the cell divides.
A. Centromere
B. Telomere
C. Spindle Apparatus
D. Chromosome
Enzyme to which cyclin binds during interphase and mitosis, triggering and controlling activities during the cell cycle.
A. Cyclin
B. Cyclin-dependent kinase
C. Chromatin
D. Chromosome
Structure that contains identical DNA copies and is formed during DNA replication.
A. Sister Chromatid
B. Chromatin
C. Chromosome
D. Cytokinesis
Micrograph in which the pairs of homologous chromosomes are arranged in decreasing size.
A. Gene
B. Gamete
C. Crossing Over
D. Karyotype
First stage of mitosis, during which the cell’s chromatin condenses into chromosomes.
A. Prophase
B. Metaphase
C. Anaphase
D. Telophase
One of the specific proteins that regulate the cell cycle.
A. Nucleosome
B. Chromatin
C. Cyclin-dependent kinase
D. Cyclin
