- Q1Giant Pacific Octopus contains 52 chromosomes. It produces a spermatophore to place into the female. Describe the correct type of cell, reproduction, and number of chromosomes.haploid, sexual, 26diploid, sexual, 52diploid, asexual, 26haploid, asexual, 2630s
- Q2The same octopus successfully reproduces. What process allows the zygotes (fertilized eggs) to develop?crossing overmitosismeiosisfertilization30s
- Q3The chromosomes align along the center of the cell after crossing over.Metaphase IIProphase IIProphase IMetaphase I30s
- Q4Describe why prophase I is important to the survival of the species.chromosomes are equally split and pulled to opposite poleschromosomes align along the center to be correctly pulled apartchromosomes cross over occurs leading to genetic variationchromosomes condense and nuclear membrane breaks down30s
- Q5Predict what would happen if the cell skips the synthesis phase?organelles cannot be replicatedDNA cannot be replicated before mitosiscell cannot grow large enough to dividethe cell cannot divide30s
- Q6Which process is NOT correct?P-M-A-TG1-G2-S-MI-P-M-A-TG1-S-G2-M30s
- Q7Which process depicting mitosis is NOT correct?Telophase-Prophase-Anaphase-MetaphaseGrowth 1-Synthesis-Growth 2-MitosisProphase-Metaphase-Anaphase-TelophaseProphase I-Metaphase I-Anaphase I-Telophase I30s
- Q8What are the major differences between mitosis and meiosis?mitosis cells are asexual, somatic, and diploid; meiosis cells are sexual, gametes, and haploidmitosis cells are sexual, somatic, and diploid; meiosis cells are asexual, gametes, and haploidmitosis cells are asexual, gametes, and diploid; meiosis cells are sexual, somatic, and haploidmitosis cells are asexual, somatic, and haploid; meiosis cells are sexual, gametes, and diploid30s
- Q9The difference between asexual and sexual reproduction is that?asexual reproduction produces identical cells, sexual reproduction produces identical cellsasexual reproduction produces genetically different cells, sexual reproduction produces identical cellsasexual reproduction produces identical cells, sexual reproduction produces genetically different cellsasexual reproduction produces genetically different cells, sexual reproduction produces genetically different cells30s
- Q10Describe what is cancer?cells that do not grow or divideuncontrolled cell divisioncells that grow but do not dividecells that grow and divide normally30s
- Q11Spindle fibers begin to form in what phase?telophaseanaphaseprophasemetaphase30s
- Q12Centrioles use spindle fibers to move the chromosomes to opposite poles in what phase?prophasemetaphaseanaphasetelophase30s
- Q13Why is mitosis critical for the survival of an organism?creates gametes to allow the organism to create genetically different cellsadds to the genetic variation of the populationreplaces old, damaged cells to create space to make new genetically identical celllskills of all old and damaged cells only30s
- Q14How do you know the difference between daughter cells of mitosis and meiosismitosis and meiosis creates 2 identical daughter cellsmitosis and meiosis creates 4 non-identical daughter cellsmitosis creates 2 identical daughter cells, meiosis creates 4 non-identical cellsmitosis creates 4 identical daughter cells, meiosis creates 2 identical daughter cells30s
- Q15Somatic cells are; gametes arecreated by mitosis; created by meiosiscreated by meiosis; created by mitosisboth created by meiosisboth created by mitosis30s
