with Correct Answers
Why are there checkpoints in the cell cycle? - Answer-To make sure that the cell going
through mitosis is ready
What are the possible outcomes when an error is detected at a checkpoint? - Answer-
Termination or Repair
define germ cell - Answer-Sex cell. Found in meiosis
What is apoptosis? - Answer-Programmed cell death
When does apoptosis occur? - Answer-development or at a checkpoint
What types of cells undergo mitosis? - Answer-somatic cells
What is the function of mitosis in unicellular organisms? - Answer-allows it to reproduce
and create more identical organisms
What is the function of mitosis in multicellular organisms? - Answer-replace cells that
have died
What are the stages of mitosis and what occurs in each? - Answer-interphase: cell
obtains nutrients, and duplicates its chromosomes. Where the cell spends most of its
time
prophase: 1st stage. DNA condenses into chromosomes
metaphase: chromosomes align
anaphase: chromosomes move to opposite ends of nuclear spindle
telophase:final stage. chromosomes of daughter cells are grouped in new nuclei

________ - Answer-a) diploid zygote, b) two parents
diploid cells called _____ cells do not undergo meiosis and make up most of the body's
diploid cells - Answer-Somatic
Daughter cells produced in meiosis have - Answer-half the number of chromosomes as
the parent cell
First phase after interphase - Answer-prophase
last phase before interphase - Answer-cytokinesis
the number of cells produced in meiosis is - Answer-twice the number of cells produced
in mitosis
meiosis results in - Answer-4 haploid daughter cells
What cell undergoes meiosis - Answer-sperm cells
