52. List the different stages of the cell cycle for a normal body cell in the proper order. What is the
ultimate result of the cell cycle?
Interphase
Mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase)
Cytokinesis.
The result of the cell cycle is 2 daughter cells with identical sets of chromosomes to the parent cell and
half the size.
53. If a parent cell has 10 chromosomes in its nucleus before cell division, how many chromosomes will
be present in each of the new daughter cells?
54. A problem occurs during the cell cycle of a human boday cell. The cell goes directly from
cytokinesis into mitosis, sipping interphase. How will this affect the resulting daughter cell? Explain
your reasoning.
The resulting cell will no longer have the diploid number because there was no duplication of the
chromosomes.
56. What is the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction? In your answer discuss each type of
reproduction and the types of organisms that undergo each type of reproduction.
Sexual reproduction requires 2 parents, one male and one female. Sex cells, called sperm in the male and
egg in the female, each contain a haploid set of chromosomes, which means they each have half the
number of chromosomes of a body cell. The sperm and egg cell join together in a process called
fertilization. After fertilization, a zygote, with a full set of chromosomes (diploid set) is formed. The
zygote rapidly divides by mitosis, and finally cell differentiation begins to occur, creating specialized
cells for different body parts. Most multicellular organisms reproduce sexually.
In asexual reproduction, only one parent is required. Most single-celled organisms like bacteria and
protozoans reproduce this way. Cell division is one type of asexual reproduction.
