UCI Bio 93 Final Exam Practice
Questions and Answers |Graded A

What are the four most common elements in living matter? - Answer✔✔-Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen,

and Carbon --make up 96% of all living matter.


Properties of Acids - Answer✔✔-Donate H+ to a solution, accept electrons, and have a pH of <7


What happens in the S phase of the cell cycle? - Answer✔✔-DNA Synthesis


What happens in the G1 phase of the cell cycle? - Answer✔✔-Growth -- cell contents are duplicated.


What happens in the G2 phase of the cell cycle? - Answer✔✔-More growth and preparation for division.


What happens in the M phase of the cell cycle? - Answer✔✔-Mitosis (and cytokinesis -- division of the

cell).


What are the subphases of mitosis? - Answer✔✔-Prophase, Pre-metaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and

Telophase.


How many checkpoints are there in the cell cycle? - Answer✔✔-3 -- G1 checkpoint, G2 checkpoint, and

the M checkpoint.


What is a Karyotype? - Answer✔✔-A layout of Metaphase chromosomes matched with their

homologous pairs.


What is a diploid cell? - Answer✔✔-A cell with 46 chromosomes -- somatic cells.

What is a haploid cell? - Answer✔✔-A cell with 23 chromosomes -- sex cells.


What does the mesoderm give rise to? - Answer✔✔-the notochord (similar to a spinal chord).


What does the endoderm give rise to? - Answer✔✔-the digestive tract.


What does the ectoderm give rise to? - Answer✔✔-the nervous system (brain)/neural plate.


If 2n = 18, how many chromosomes come from the mother? - Answer✔✔-9 -- half from mom and half

from dad


Meiosis - Answer✔✔-Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number

by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them.


What two structures does the chiasma connect? - Answer✔✔-Non-sister chromatids.


What are the steps of meiosis? - Answer✔✔-Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I &

cytokinesis (then a second set of phases)


What does meiosis 1 deal with? - Answer✔✔-homologous chromosomes.


What happens in prophase 1? - Answer✔✔-The chromosomes condense, the nuclear envelope breaks

down, chromosomes cross over, and meiotic spindle forms.


What happens in metaphase 1? - Answer✔✔-the pairs of homologous chromosomes are now tightly

condensed and coiled and become arranged on the metaphase plate.


What happens in anaphase 1? - Answer✔✔-the pairs of chromosomes are pulled apart by the spindle

fibers (microtubules).

What happens in Telophase 1 and cytokinesis? - Answer✔✔-The homologous chromosome pairs

complete their migration to the two poles as a result of the action of the spindle. Now a haploid set of

chromosomes is at each pole, with each chromosome still having two chromatids. A nuclear envelope

reforms around each chromosome set, the spindle disappears, and cytokinesis follows.


What happens during meiosis 2? - Answer✔✔-sister chromatids separate.


What happens in prophase 2 of meiosis? - Answer✔✔-A new spindle forms around the chromosomes.


What happens in metaphase 2 of meiosis? - Answer✔✔-Metaphase 2 chromosomes line up at the

equator.


What happens in anaphase 2 of meiosis? - Answer✔✔-Centromeres divide chromatids move to opposite

poles of the cells.


What happens during telophase 2 of meiosis? - Answer✔✔-A nuclear envelope forms around each set of

chromosomes and the cytoplasm divides.


What makes meiosis a unique form of cell division - Answer✔✔-Synapsis and crossing over -- occurs in

prophase 1, pairing up of homologous chromosomes, homologous chromosomes cross over and

exchange corresponding genetic information (the DNA exchanged contain the same genes, but may have

different alleles).


How does meiosis increase genetic variability? - Answer✔✔-Independent assortment (meiosis 1 --

homologous chromosomes separate independently), crossing over (genetic recombination, prophase 1),

and random fertilization (any egg can join with any sperm -- most effective way to obtain genetic

variability).
