Back Practice Test: Chapter 8

Matching skip

  1. 90% of meiotic division. Chromatin coils up. Synapsis. Chromosomes become visible. Crossing over occurs. Nucleoli disappear
  2. Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase
  3. Narrow 'waist' between sister chromatids
  4. Protein secreted by certain body cells that stimulates other cells to divide. At least 50 different types. Different cell types respond to different growth factors
  5. Cell continues to grow and copies its chromosomes
  6. Ordered sequence of events that extends from the time a cell is first formed until its own division into two cells
  7. based on site of origin

Short Answer skip






Multiple Choice skip

  1. Diploid cell number for humans
  2. independent assortment
  3. deletion
  4. sex chromosomes
  5. G1

True or False skip

  1. mitotic spindle
    Chromosome movement depends on it. Football-shaped structure of microtubules that guides the separation of the two sets of daughter chromosomes. Emerges from 2 centrosomes. In centrioles. Microtubule-organizing centers

     

  2. anaphase
    Motor proteins pull chromosomes apart. Attached fibers shorten, non-attached lengthen. Cell elongated as poles move farther apart. Over when chromosomes have reached the poles

     

  3. 3 sources of genetic variability in sexually reproduction organisms
    Independent orientation. Random fertilization. Crossing over

     

  4. somatic cell
    Cell grows

     

  5. telophase
    Cell elongation continues. Daughter nuclei begin to form around chromosomes. Chromatin fiber uncoils. Nucleoli reappear. 2 genetically identical cells formed
