Fall Final Review Part 2

Front

What is the result of mitosis in terms of chromosome number in fruit fly daughter cells?

Back

After mitosis, fruit fly daughter cells have 8 chromosomes.

Front

What type of mutation is represented by the change from ATT-TGA-GCC to ATT-GAG-CC?

Back

This is an example of a Deletion - Frameshift mutation.

Front

What is the outcome of meiosis in terms of genetic similarity of new cells?

Back

After meiosis, the new cells are all different.

Front

Which type of cell is an example of a prokaryotic cell?

Back

Bacteria are an example of prokaryotic cells.

Front

Which process produces the most ATP during aerobic cellular respiration?

Back

The electron transport chain creates the most ATP during aerobic cellular respiration.

Front

Define mitosis.

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

What is meiosis?

Back

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four genetically diverse gametes.

Front

What is a frameshift mutation?

Back

A frameshift mutation occurs when nucleotides are inserted or deleted from the DNA sequence, altering the reading frame.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and organelles.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.
