Interphase -CORRECT ANSWER-cell feeds, metabolizes and
grows while replicating
DNA in preparation for mitosis
Prophase -CORRECT ANSWER-first appearance of chromosomes
(will be 92)
Metaphase -CORRECT ANSWER-Centrioles pull chromosomes to
opposite sides of cell (chromatid) - 46 each side
Anaphase -CORRECT ANSWER-Centromeres split and sister
chromatids are pulled apart
,2 | Page
Telophase -CORRECT ANSWER-New nuclear membrane formed
around each group of
46 chromosomes *When it goes right, euploid cells are produced*
Nondisjunction -CORRECT ANSWER-Error in meiosis in which
homologous chromosomes fail to separate.
Polyploidy -CORRECT ANSWER-condition in which an organism
has extra sets of chromosomes
Triploidy -CORRECT ANSWER-when an organism has three copies
of every chromsome instead of two
Tetrapoloidy -CORRECT ANSWER-euploid has 92 chromosomes
and fetus usually does not survive
Huntington's disease -CORRECT ANSWER-Single gene disorder
(trinucleotide repeat mutation)
Autosomal dominant (50% chance of passing it on)
Progressive neurologic disease with late onset (40s)
Prevention- genetic testing for pregnancy planning
