Cell Cycle, Mitosis & Meiosis Jeopardy Cell Cycle Mitosis Meiosis Regulating Cell Cycle Misc. Q $100 Q $200 Q $300 Q $400 Q $500 Q $100 Q $200 Q $300 Q $400 Q $500
3
$100 Question What is the 1 st phase of the cell cycle? What is the name of its 1 st sub-stage?
4
$100 Answer Interphase, G1
5
$200 Question ________ are X-shaped structures that carry genetic information in the form of genes
6
$200 Answer Chromosomes
7
$300 Question What is the last phase of the cell cycle? Describe what happens during this phase
8
$300 Answer Cytokinesis Cytoplasm divides, splits apart to form 2 cells
9
$400 Question What is the 1 st phase of the cell cycle? What is the name of its 2 nd sub-stage? What happens during this sub-stage?
10
$400 Answer Interphase, S, DNA replication
11
$500 Question ________ is the “silly string” material that tightly winds together to make up chromosomes. It consists of protein, RNA, and DNA
12
$500 Answer Chromatin
13
$100 Question What is the 1 st phase of Mitosis? Use the pipe cleaners to model it
14
$100 Answer Prophase Chromatin coils, shortens, and thickens into chromosomes Nuclear membrane starts to disappear
15
$200 Question What is the 2 nd phase of Mitosis? Use the pipe cleaners to model it
16
$200 Answer Metaphase Chromosomes line up in middle of cell, along equator, perpendicular to spindle fibers
17
$300 Question What is the 3 rd phase of Mitosis? Use the pipe cleaners to model it
18
$300 Answer Anaphase Chromatids split apart, moving to opposite ends of cell
19
$400 Question What is the 4 th phase of Mitosis? Use the pipe cleaners to model it
20
$400 Answer Telophase Chromosomes form in opposite ends of the cells; membranes form around each end
21
$500 Question How many cells result in the end of Mitosis? Are they genetically different, or identical? What about in Meiosis?
22
$500 Answer 2, identical 4, genetically different
23
$100 Question The type of cell division that makes sex cells is called ______ The type of cell division that makes body cells is called __________
24
$100 Answer Meiosis Mitosis
25
$200 Question Why is meiosis called a “reduction division”, and why is it important?
26
$200 Answer Meiosis is called reduction division because it reduces # of chromosomes in half This is why sex cells (n+n) combine in fertilization to make 2n
27
$300 Question Define fertilization
28
$300 Answer When two sex cells combine to make an embryo
29
$400 Question How is sexual reproduction an advantage to a species? Explain
30
$400 Answer Genetic variability; allows for different organisms in species to adapt to changes
31
$500 Question What is crossing over? When does it occur? Come draw it on the board
32
$500 Answer piece of one chromosome is exchanged with piece of another (during Prophase I)
33
$100 Question ________ is a disease that causes cells to divide repeatedly and uncontrollably, with no ability to stop at checkpoints
34
$100 Answer Cancer. Cells overcrowd normal cells, stopping their normal function and killing the organism
35
$200 Question What is a carcinogen? Name one, and explain how it can be avoided
36
$200 Answer Chemicals/substances that can cause cancer UV rays Artificial preservatives X-ray radiation Tobacco
37
$300 Question Why is it more likely for older people to develop cancer?
38
$300 Answer Higher risk of mutations over time
39
$400 Question What would happen if the checkpoint for the S phase did not work correctly? (Instead of turning green when the CDK combines with the cyclin, it is always green) How would this affect the cell cycle?
40
$400 Answer
41
$500 Question Timing and rate of cell cycle controlled by 2 substances: _______:proteins _______:enzymes that bind to protein
42
$500 Answer Cyclins CDKs
43
$100 Question If a bird has 20 chromosomes in its sex cells (gametes) then how many will it have in its body (somatic) cells?
44
$100 Answer 40
45
$200 Question Why is it beneficial for cells to be small?
46
$200 Answer Small SA/V ratio, so it’s more efficient for nutrients to enter and wastes to leave
47
$300 Question Describe the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction
48
$300 Answer Sexual 2 parents Offspring - genetically different from parents – variation Involves sex cells Asexual Single parent Offspring- genetically identical to parent No sex cells
49
$400 Question Explain why you do not look identical to your parents
50
$400 Answer Crossing over causes you to have a combination of your mother’s genes and your father’s genes
51
$500 Question What are homologous chromosomes?
52
$500 Answer One chromosome from each pair came from mother, other from father. Code for the same type of traits, but don’t have the exact same information
