Bio Principles Unit 3 Exam Questions And Correct Answers



what do cells do to reproduce and perpetuate the species - Answer reproduce

cell reproduction involves - Answer mitosis and cytokinesis

cells that evolve through mitosis and cytokinesis are - Answer identical

In some organisms cells, mitosis occurs without cytoki-nesis. This will result in - Answer
cells with more than one nucleus.

meiosis is a form of sexual reproduction that involves - Answer species that reproduce
sexually



meiosis scrambles the genetic information from both of the parents and - Answer
reduces the chromosome number by ½ to produce eggs and sperm.

-insures variation



chromosomes - Answer -a cellular structure carrying genetic material.

-found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells

-each chromosome consists of one very long DNA molecule and associated proteins

-chromosome=dyad; two chromatid when duplicated



somatic cells - Answer -any cell in a multicellular organism except a sperm, or egg or
their precurser

gametes - Answer -a haploid reproductive cell

-egg or sperm

-unite during sexual reproduction to produce a diploid zygote

the only haploid cells we have in our bodies are - Answer gametes

at fertilization, the full complement of paired chromosomes - Answer is restored

mitosis - Answer -division and replication of the nucleus into two identical nuclie

,-can occur independently, but typically includes cytokinesis

-conserves chromosome number by dividing up replicated chromosomes to each of the
daughter uncle

-PMAT



cell reproduction Answer cell division, including cytokinesis and usually mitosis



reduction of chromosomes -Answer reducing chromosome number is absolutely
essential in reproducing species



a sexual reproduction - Answer reproduction with use of only one individual by budding
or by the division of a single cell or the entire organism into two or more parts.



What is the advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction? - Answer
-sexual reproduction offers more variation and offspring that are more genetically
unique

do bacteria undergo mitosis? - Answer No-(mitosis is duplication and division of the
nucleus)

-bacteria undergo BINARY FISSION



prokaryotic cells are - Answer less complicated



Is cell reproduction/division synonymous with mitosis? - Answer No. Mitosis is the
division of the nucleus, mitosis can occur without cell division

.do all cells divide after they are produced? - Answer no-muscle tissue/neurons do not
divide, as well as liver

-no need to go to G1, stays at G0



Cell cycle - Answer PMAT

-cells go through four stages during cell reproduction

,-an ordered sequence of events in the life of a cell



What are the 7 Phases of the Cell Cycle? - Answer interphase

g1

s1

g2

mitotic phase

mitosis

cytokinesis



interphase - Answer -phases G1, S, G2

-portion of the cell with main metabolic activity- cellular respiration, photosynthesis,
making protein

-"the resting phase" but not really at rest

-no dividing

-accounts for 90% of cell cycle

-produces a lot of ATP



condition of DNA in interphase - Answer there are the same number of chromosomes in
G1 46 and G2 46, S 92



chromatin - Answer -loosley scattered arrangement of chromosomes in interphase

-DNA-protein complex found in eukaryotic cells, condition of dna during interphase



when the cell is not deviding, - Answer chromatin exists in its dispersed form.

-very long, thin fibers that are not visible with a light telescope



g1 - Answer -the first gap phase

, -site of active growth and metabolism

-unduplicated DNA present

-this is a gap between metabolic and duplication

-final destination for adult cells:neurons and muscles



A cell has half as much DNA as some other cell in a mitotically active tissue. The cell in
question is likely to be in - Answer G1.



S - Answer -synthesis phase

-DNA Synthesis and duplication of chromosomes

-twisted helix

-physically separated from mitosis by 2 gaps, g1 and g2

g2 - Answer -synthesis of molecules in preparation for cell division (mitosis)

-produces microtubules for mitosis and meiosis.

-DNA is already duplicated at this stage

-rapid production of tubules and asters

tubules are made in G2 to - Answer form spindle fibers



What happens in the S Phase? - Answer -Dna synthesis.

-at the beginning each chromosome is single

-at the conclusion of each chromosome is comprised of two sister chromosomes



what occurs during G1? - Answer This is the part of the cell cycle immediately following
division, but before DNA synthesis. The cell is growing through production of proteins
and organelles.



what occurs during G2? - Answer This third subphase of interphase is also a period of
metabolic activity and growth. The cell is making final preparations for division.
