Topic 1.6, 3.1 – 3.3 and 10.1 Cell Division and Meiosis

Write assessment statement and number in one color, write your answer in another color

Include all vocabulary terms in your answers. Diagrams and tables are great

Leave space to add additional information later

Each assessment statement should be about ½ to 1 full page.
Topic 1.6 Cell Division
1.6.1 Explain the processes involved during interphase
of the cell cycle
1.6.2 Outline the events that occur in the five phases of
M phase of the cell cycle (prophase,
metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis)
1.6.3 List the biological functions of mitotic
division/mitosis
1.6.4 Describe how tumors are formed including
definitions of the following terms: metastasis,
oncogene, malignant, benign,mutagens)
Topic 3.1 Genes
3.1.1 State that genes are heritable factors that consist
of a length of DNA and influence a specific
characteristic.
3.1.2 Define gene, allele, genome, and mutation
3.1.3 Discuss the specific mutation that causes sickle
cell anemia.
3.1.4 State that alleles differ from each other by one or
only a few bases
3.1.5 Describe the different mutations and their
effects on DNA/proteins
Topic 3.2 Chromosomes
3.2.1 Compare the chromosomes of prokaryotes and
eukaryotes
3.2.2 State that homologous chromosomes
carry the same sequence of genes but
not necessarily the same alleles of
those genes
3.2.3 Distinguish between diploid and haploid
cells
3.2.4 Explain how a karyogram is obtained and
what information can be gained from
that karyogram
3.2.5 Compare autosomes and sex
chromosomes
3.2.6 Compare the genome size in T2 phage,
Escherichia coli, Drosophila
melanogaster, Homo sapiens, and Paris
japonica
3.2.7 Compare the diploid chromosome
numbers of Homo sapiens, Pan
troglodytes, Canis familiaris, Oryza
sativa, Parascaris equoru.
Topic 3.3 Meiosis
3.1.1 Outline the process of meiosis, including
pairing of sister chromatids, crossing
over, and divisions.
3.1.2 Explain the process of non-disjunction
and provide a minimum of 3 biological
examples of non-disjunction
3.1.3 Describe the benefits of crossing over in
terms of genetic variation.
3.1.4 State that one diploid nucleus divides by
meiosis to produce four haploid nuclei
Topic 10.1 Meiosis
10.1.1 Outline the formation of the chiasmata
in the process of crossing over
10.1.2 State that homologous chromosomes
separate in meiosis I
10.1.3 Discuss Mendel’s law of independent
assortment
10.1.4 Explain how meiosis results in an
effectively infinite genetic variety in
gametes through crossing over in
prophase I and random orientation in
metaphase I.
