Mitosis & Meiosis & Protein Syn TEST Anatomy

Front

What type of cells does mitosis produce?

Back

Mitosis produces 2 genetically identical cells.

Front

What is the chromosome number produced by meiosis?

Back

Meiosis produces cells with a haploid chromosome number.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA and RNA?

Back

The building blocks of DNA and RNA are called nucleotides.

Front

What is the name of the phase where chromosomes align in the center of the cell during meiosis?

Back

The phase is called Metaphase I.

Front

What is the name of the phase where the cell divides into two daughter cells in mitosis?

Back

The phase is called Telophase.

Front

What is the difference between diploid and haploid cells?

Back

Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, while haploid cells have one set.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What occurs during Prophase I of meiosis?

Back

During Prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material.

Front

What is the end result of meiosis?

Back

The end result of meiosis is four genetically diverse haploid cells.

Front

What is the significance of crossing over in meiosis?

Back

Crossing over increases genetic variation among offspring.
