Things to Know:
1. Know 3 reasons it is better to be made up of many cells rather than just one big cell.
2. What are two types of asexual reproduction? Be able to explain how each occur
3. Know differences between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosome (should have 3!)
4. What allows for all the DNA to fit inside a small microscopic cell?
Sister chromatid
Daughter cells
Spindle
Histone
c. Anaphase
d. Telophase
Nucleosome
Cytokinesis
Homologous chromosomes
5. Study the diagram of the cell cycle (Circle diagram)
6. What are the 3 parts of interphase?
Karyotype
Diploid
Haploid
Meiosis
7. Know what happens in each phase of mitosis
a. Prophase
b. Metaphase
a. What happens in each part?
b. How many chromosomes would there be in each stage if there were 8 chromosomes
total?
Gametes
Somatic Cells
Tetrad
Crossing over
8.
What is the role of the spindle in mitosis and meiosis? What forms the spindle? What does it
connect to on the chromosome?
9. Be able to locate and label cells in each stage of the cell cycle (like we did with the cards in
class)
10. Know the chart on differences between meiosis and mitosis
11. What is the purpose of meiosis?
12. Why must sex cells be haploid?
13. What is cancer?
14. What is divided in meiosis I vs. what is divided in meiosis II?
15. Explain the process of crossing over and why it is important in sexual reproduction.
