Study Guide-Cell Reproduction
1. Describe what happens in the following stages of mitosis:
a. Prophaseb. Metaphasec. Anaphased. Telophase-
2. How many stages are there in the cell cycle? Why is interphase not included in
mitosis?
3. Label the following on the diagram: Chromatid, Homologous Chromosome,
Centromere, Chromosome.
4. Compare and contrast homologous chromosomes and chromatids?
5. What is a gamete?
6. Describe the events in the following parts of Interphase:
a. G1
b. S
c. G2
7. The total number of chromosomes in a human is 46. What is its haploid and
diploid number of chromosomes?
8. What are the haploid cells in humans called (there are two)?
9. Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis. How are they similar? How are they
different?
10. Describe the function of spindle fibers. What do they attach to? Where are they
“anchored?”
11. What is crossing-over? How does it result in genetic recombination?
12. Describe how animal cell and plant cell life cycles are different.
13.
14. Do bacteria undergo mitosis or meiosis for the purpose of reproduction? What is
this process called?
15. How are oogenesis different from spermatogenesis? Which process produces a
polar body?
16. Describe the law of independent assortment. Why is it important?
17. Describe how meiosis I is different from meiosis II.
18. Why do cells in the onion root tip, blastula, skin, stomach, or esophagus divide
more quickly than other cells?
19. Compare and contrast benign and malignant tumors.
20. How are cancer cells different from normal cells?
21. For the image below:
a. Identify the process.
b. Identify 3 things that take place in “A.”
c. Identify each of the phases.
22. The diagram below is out of order. However,
a. Identify the process.
b. How do you know?
c. Which cells are haploid?
d. What can happen in step G that can lead to genetic diversity?
