Final Jeopardy

3. Each daughter will have 8 chromosomes
20 Points
Each daughter will have 8 chromosomes
Suppose a single-celled organism has 8 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after asexual reproduction?

4. 40 Points
The zygote in the diagram below is about to undergo mitosis. Draw a picture that shows the chromosomes of the daughter cells.

5. 60 Points
After mitosis, the daughters have the same genetic info as the parent and each other
When a single-celled organism (like an amoeba) undergoes mitosis, describe the genetic information of the parent and the daughter cells.

6. A. The daughters have the same chromosomes as the parent
80 Points
A. The daughters have the same chromosomes as the parent
In the following diagram, what is the significance of anaphase?
A. The daughters have the same chromosomes as the parent
B. The cells split in half
C. The daughters have twice the chromosome number as the parent
D. The DNA is replicated

7. 100 Points
Mitosis
Some marine sponges contain a biological catalyst that blocks chromosome separation. Which process will this enzyme stop?
respiration diffusion
photosynthesis mitosis

8. 20 Points ½ the number of chromosomes
Compared to mitosis, how many chromosomes do cells have after meiosis?

9. 40 Points
Meiosis
Which process only occurs in organisms that undergo sexual reproduction?
mutation meiosis
replication mitosis

10. 60 Points Half the chromosome number of the parent
They are genetically different
After meiosis in sperm cells, 1) how many chromosomes do the sperm have compared to the parent, and 2) are the sperm genetically identical or different?

11. 4 after Meiosis I, and 4 after Meiosis II
80 Points
4 after Meiosis I, and 4 after Meiosis II
Meiosis has 2 stages, Meiosis I and Meiosis II. If a cell has 8 chromosomes, how many will the daughter cells have after each stage?

12. 100 Points Before division of the nucleus
In both Mitosis and Meiosis, when does DNA replication occur?

13. 20 Points
Tissue repair
The diagram below can best be used to illustrate which process?
tissue repair recombination
sexual reproduction meiosis

14. 40 Points
If the skin cell to the left undergoes mitosis, what chromosome pattern will the daughters have?

15. 60 Points
Mitosis
Warts are caused by a virus that causes skin cells to undergo reproduce. What process does the virus stimulate?

16. B) An animal repairing tissue damage
80 Points
B) An animal repairing tissue damage
What cellular activity might involve the process shown in the diagram below?
A) phagocytosis by a white blood cell
B) an animal repairing tissue damage
C) a zygote reproducing in an ovary
D) meiotic cell division

17. In humans, which cell type is produced by mitosis?
100 Points
A skin cell
In humans, which cell type is produced by mitosis?
a skin cell an egg cell
a sperm cell a zygote

18. 20 Points

21. Because offspring receive some genes from each parent
80 Points
Because offspring receive some genes from each parent
In sexual reproduction, offspring may or may not closely resemble their parents. Why might offspring resemble, but not be genetically identical to either parent?

22. 100 Points Process 1 Process 3 Sex cells Body cells Haploid cells
Diploid cells
In the diagram to the left, describe 1 difference between the cells produced by Process 1 and the cells produced by Process 3.
