BIO 110 CELL CYCLE AND DIVISION
EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
somatic - Correct Answers -non-reproductive cells, divide through the process of mitosis
gametic - Correct Answers -reproductive cells, undergo mitosis then utilize a second
process called meiosis
interphase - Correct Answers -the time in between cell divisions when they perform
normal functions
chromatin - Correct Answers -consists of long strands of DNA wrapped around a cluster
of protein called a histone
during mitosis - Correct Answers -the chromatin condenses into chromosomes
How many chromosome does a human have? - Correct Answers -Human cells have 46
chromosomes. This includes 23 from the mother, and 23 from the father.
prophase - Correct Answers -the DNA begins to condense, forming chromosomes
metaphase - Correct Answers -begins as the chromosomes move and align themselves
in a narrow central zone in the cell
anaphase - Correct Answers -begins when the centromere of each chromatid pair splits
telophase - Correct Answers -with the chromosomes now fully divided, the nuclear
membranes form
what does meiosis result in? - Correct Answers -production of four genetically different
cells with only half the normal number of chromosomes
what are the end products of meiosis - Correct Answers -haploids
haploid (n) - Correct Answers -half the number of chromosomes
