3. The cell cycle can be defined as this.

4. What is the life cycle of the cell OR the series of events cells go through as they grow and divide OR a similar acceptable response.

5. These are the names of the two phases of the cell cycle in which the cell reproduces.

6. What are mitosis and cytokinesis?

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

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

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

10. What are growth, normal life, and DNA replication?

11. When two gametes fuse in sexual reproduction, they create a diploid cell called this.

12. What is a zygote?

13. True or false: A haploid cell contains 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 _____ while normal body cells are ______.

18. What are haploid and diploid?

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

21. DAILY DOUBLE! Both teams will have time to work on this question, you need not be the first raised hand to answer it. Choose up to 1000 points to wager. Your wager must be less than your current point total.

22. 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! Both teams will have time to work on this question, you need not be the first raised hand to answer it. Choose up to 1000 points to wager. Your wager must be less than your current point total.

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

36. What is prophase I?

37. This is the stage of meiosis in homologous chromosomes line up in pairs down the middle of the cell.

38. What is metaphase I?

39. In meiosis, sister chromatids are on opposite sides of the cell from each other and nuclear membranes re- form in this stage.

40. What is telophase II?

41. In anaphase I, ____ are pulled apart. In anaphase II, ___ are pulled apart.

42. What are homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids?

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! Both teams will have time to work on this question, you need not be the first raised hand to answer it. Choose up to 1000 points to wager. Your wager must be less than your current point total.

54. These are the three versions of anaphase that we have learned about, these are the processes (mitosis or meiosis) in which they occur, and these are what gets pulled apart in each one.

55. Anaphase (mitosis) - Sister chromatids Anaphase I (meiosis) - Homologous chromosomes Anaphase II (meiosis) - Sister chromatids
