Introduction To Biology chap 12

A human bone marrow cell (in prophase of mitosis) contains 46 sister chromatids. How many chromatids does it contain altogether?
92.  (DNA is duplicated)

Nucleoli are present during _____.    interphase= Nucleoli are present during interphase.

Cytokinesis often, but n ot always, accompanies    Telophase


Chromosomes first become visible during    Prophase

Centromeres divide and sister chromosomes become full-fledged chromosomes during   Anaphase

Spindle fibers attach to kinetochores during _____.    Prometaphase

This animation illustrates the events of _____.       Anaphase

This animation illustrates the events of _____.      cytokinesis as it occurs in animals cells

This animation illustrates the events of _____.    Prophase

This animation illustrates the events of _____.     metaphase

This animation illustrates the events of _____.      prometaphase

This animation illustrates the events of _____.      cytokinesis as it occurs in plant cells

This animation illustrates the events of _____.    telophase

During prophase a homologous pair of chromosomes consists of _____.    2 chromosomes and 4 chromotids

During _____ both the contents of the nucleus and the cytoplasm are divided.
the mitotic phase (the mitotic phase encompasses both mitosis and    cytokinesis

During the ___ phase of the cell cycle, the cell grows and replicates both its organelles and its chromosomes.    Interphase

The copying of chromosomes occurs during which of the following phases of the cell cycle?    S phase - Chromosomes must undergo replication before mitosis can occur; this copying occurs during the S phase.

For the first several divisions of early frog embryos, cells proceed directly from the M phase to the S phase and back to M without gaps. Which of the following is likely to be true about dividing cells in early frog embryos?

- Frog embryos do not have DNA.
- The cells do not divide by mitosis.
- The cells get smaller with each generation.
- The number of chromosomes decreases with each generation.      The cells get smaller with each generation


True or false? The M phase is characterized by the replication and division of a cell's chromosomes.    False - Cells replicate their chromosomes during the S phase and divide partition their chromosomes during the M phase.

If an organism normally has 34 chromosomes, how many molecules of DNA should there be in the G1 phase of the cell cycle?    34.
