WorksheetsMitosis & Meiosis Formative
Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 29mins
What occurs at the checkpoint in G1?
Ensure the cell has grown large enough & the original DNA is undamaged
Ensure the DNA has replicated properly and is undamaged
Ensure the cell has grown large enough and has duplicated the organelles
Ensure the cell is still able to carry out normal functions
What can occur to an organism if the cell cycle is not regulated properly?
The organism will require more food energy because of the cell growth will increase
The cell cycle will proceed faster and create more cells causing it to grow faster
Some cells will go through apoptosis but nothing will change for the organism
Cancer can be caused and non-functioning cells can be produced
What is the result of cells going through Mitosis?
2 genetically identical daughter cells - Diploid Somatic Cells
2 genetically unique daughter cells - Haploid Somatic Cells
1 genetically unique cell - Diploid Somatic Cell
2 Genetically identical daughter cells - Diploid Gamete Cells
What is Apoptosis?
A tumor
A protein
Programmed cell death
Cell cycle checkpoints
Meiosis produces cells that are HAPLOID meaning:
3N (have 3 sets of chromosomes)
2N (have a pair of chromosomes)
1N (have 1 set of chromosomes
0N: have no chromosomes
Meiosis produces:
2 daughter cells that are identical
2 daughter cells that are unique
4 daughter cells that are identical
4 daughter cells that are unique
