Unit 4 Study Guide – Due Test Day 10/28 (B) and 10/29 (A)

1. Why do cells divide? For damaged cells to be replaced

2. Describe the chromosome structure of a prokaryotic cell. It’s a singular coiled chromosome.

3. The region of a chromosome where two sister chromatids are held together is called a… cetromere

4. Describe the structure chromatin vs chromatid. Chromatids are apart of chromosome attached to the centromere.
Chromatin are a mass of DNA molecules.

5. In bacteria, what type of cell division takes place? What is the result? Binary fission. It's where DNA in the bacterial cell is
replicated.

6. What is the phase of the cell cycle that occupies most of an average cell’s life? The interphase.

7. What phase does the cell enter after cytokinesis is completed? The G1 phase.

8. What is the sequence of the cells cycle (from G1 to Cytokinesis)? G1, S phase, G2, and mitosis

9. The synthesis (S) phase is characterized by what process? DNA replication

Use the picture below to answer questions 10-13.

10. The cell is picture 1 is in what phase of mitosis? Anaphase


11. The cell in picture 2 is in what phase of mitosis? Interphase
12. The cell in picture 5 is in what phase of mitosis? Telophase
13. Using the numbers that correspond with the pictures above put the events of mitosis in order. 2, 3,4,1,5

14. Cytokinesis in plant cells involves the formation of __________cell plates____, while in animal cells a _____cleaveage
furrow_ forms.
15. If a cell has 60 chromosomes and undergoes mitosis, the daughter cells will have __30___ chromosomes.
16. What organelle do animal cells have that plant cells do not have when undergoing mitosis? Centrioles

17. What is the process that directly follows telophase in the cell cycle? cytokenisis

18. What happens when the cell cycle is uncontrolled? Cells can divide without order which will cause genetic errors

19. The DNA in eukaryotic cells is packaged into structures called _______chromosomes_______________.
20. What are three types of asexual reproduction? Binary fission, budding, and fragmentation.

21. What stage of mitosis do chromosomes condense and become visible? Prophase

22. What happens to the amount of DNA in a cell as it moves through one cell cycle?
The amount increases
23. This is programmed cell death called? Apoptosis

24. What are different types of biotechnology? Environmental, animal, molecular, and etc…
