3. Cancer is caused by a mutation to genes that control this.

4. What is the cell cycle OR the rate of the cell cycle?

5. This is the part of interphase in which DNA replication occurs, turning chromosomes into X-shaped pairs of sister chromatids.

6. What is S or Synthesis Phase?

7. This is the part of interphase that comes after S phase, in which the cell produces an abundance of proteins in preparation for reproduction.

8. What is G2?

9. These are the three key events that occur in interphase.

10. What are growth, DNA replication, and rapid metabolism?

11. What are two problems with cell growth that cell division solves?

12. What are materials exchange (surface area to volume ratio) and DNA overload?

13. True or false: A haploid cell contains pairs of homologous chromosomes.

14. What is false?

15. If an organism has 40 different kinds of chromosomes, and one of its cells contains 80 total chromosomes, that cell is called this.

16. What is diploid?

17. Gametes are ___ploid while normal body cells are ___ploid.

18. What are haploid and diploid?

19. After DNA replication, a chromosome becomes two _____ connected by a centromere.

20. What are sister chromatids?

21. DAILY DOUBLE! Wager no more than your current point total. If correct = add double your wager onto your previous score. If incorrect = subtract your wager from your previous score.

22. There are two human sex chromosomes, X and Y. Men have an X from Mom and a Y from Dad. Women get an X from Mom and another, non-identical X from Dad. The two human sex chromosomes, X and Y, are examples of this.

23. What are homologous chromosomes?

24. The phase of cytoplasmic division which follows the four stages of mitosis is called this.

25. What is cytokinesis?

26. The stage of mitosis in which chromosomes line up down the center of the cell is called this.

27. What is metaphase?

28. This is the phase of mitosis in which chromosomes condense and become visible.

29. What is prophase?

30. DAILY DOUBLE! Wager no more than your current point total. If correct = add double your wager onto your previous score. If incorrect = subtract your wager from your previous score.

31. In the anaphase stage of mitosis, these are pulled apart.

32. What are sister chromatids?

33. The phase of mitosis in which nuclear membranes form is called this.

34. What is telophase?

35. These are the kinds of cells produced by meiosis.

36. What are gametes?

37. This is the number of cells produced by meiosis.

38. What is four?

39. This is the number of cytoplasmic divisions that occur in meiosis.

40. What is two?

41. This is the stage of meiosis in which crossing-over occurs.

42. What is prophase I?

43. This is what crossing-over achieves for a sexually-reproducing organism that is important to the population’s survival.

44. It increases genetic diversity, because it makes each sperm and egg cell unique. (reasonably close answers accepted)

45. A single cell produces this many daughter cells through mitosis, while meiosis produces that many cells.

46. What are 2 and 4?

47. The cells produced by ____ are haploid, while the cells produced by _____ are diploid.

48. What are meiosis and mitosis?

49. This process produces identical cells, while that process produces cells with unique genetic sequences.

50. What are mitosis and meiosis?

51. The process in which homologous chromosomes randomly exchange some genes is called _____, and only occurs in the phase _____ of the process _____.

52. What are crossing-over, prophase I, meiosis?

53. DAILY DOUBLE! Wager no more than your current point total. If correct = add double your wager onto your previous score. If incorrect = subtract your wager from your previous score.

54. Cats have 19 different kinds of chromosomes, for a total of 38 chromosomes in a normal body cell. 1. How many chromosomes are in a cat cell produced by mitosis? 2. How many chromosomes are in a cat cell produced by meiosis?
