Unit 5: Cellular Reproduction

Front

What is the stage of the cell cycle where division occurs, resulting in two identical cells?

Back

Mitosis

Front

Which chromosome pair is affected in individuals with chromosomal conditions?

Back

23

Front

What is the result of meiosis in humans?

Back

4 unique cells with 23 chromosomes each.

Front

During which stage of the cell cycle does DNA replication take place?

Back

S phase

Front

If an organism has a haploid number of 3, what is their diploid number?

Back

6

Front

What is the definition of 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 unique gametes, each with half the number of chromosomes.

Front

What is the difference between haploid and diploid cells?

Back

Haploid cells have one set of chromosomes (n), while diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes (2n).

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication occurs during the S phase, where each chromosome is duplicated.

Front

What is the significance of the G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The G1 phase is the first stage of interphase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.
