Unit 6: Cell Cycle (Mitosis) and Meiosis Exam Review - Adv Bio

Front

Why do living things grow?

Back

Because they produce more and more cells.

Front

In Meiosis I ___ pairs separate and in Meiosis II ___ separate.

Back

homologous, sister chromatids.

Front

What determines how large a cell can grow?

Back

Surface area.

Front

How do the 2 daughter cells compare to the original parent cell at the end of mitosis in terms of genetic material?

Back

They are genetically identical.

Front

What is the purpose of checkpoints during the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The series of phases that a cell goes through from its formation to its division.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis.

Front

What happens during Interphase?

Back

The cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

The process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What are the stages of mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
