6 Mitosis and Meiosis Answer Key 1. Mitosis has five stages, results in two identical diploid cells, occurs in somatic cells- Meiosis has 10 stages, results in four unique haploid cells, used to produce gametes 2. Any body cell, such as skin, hair, nails, etc 3. No. Interphase prepares the cell for cell division. 4. The chromosomes are replicated. 5. Organelles are duplicated during G1, chromosomes are duplicated during the S phase 6. Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm, which contains the organelles and important chemicals and energy, making sure that both new cells contain adequate organelles and nutrients for functional survival. 7. A centrosome is a microtubule organizing center, and it is crucial to mitosis because the microtubules provide a framework for the chromosomes to move during the process. 8. The chromosomes would be lined up along the center of the cell 9. During prophase the nuclear envelope disappears, during telophase the envelope is reestablished 10. Plant cells 11. This is a type of cloning- the steps are as follows: Remove nucleus from egg cell, remove nucleus from somatic cell belonging to individual you want to clone, transfer nucleus into empty egg cell, implant new egg cell into carrier organism, ensure egg cell begins embryonic development and carries new cloned organism to term 12. Anaphase, the chromosomes are being pulled towards opposite poles of the cell 13. Repair damage, regenerate lost parts, grow in size, reproduce asexually 14. Interphase and mitotic phase 15. G1, S, G2- G1: grow, produce proteins, replicate organelles S: replicate DNA G2: finish growing, final preparations for mitosis 16. Chromatids are chromosomes that have been copied in preparation for mitosis 17. Cytokinesis is the separation of the cytoplasm and the creation of new cell walls and membranes, mitosis is the creation and separation of two nuclei 18. A kinetochore is a protein structure in the centromere connecting chromatids, the spindle fibers that will pull the chromatids apart attach at the kinetochore 19. The chromatids are pulled apart to separate poles of the cell during anaphase 20. Vesicles merge together to create a new cell membrane during cytokinesis in plant cells 21. Animal cell 22. In animal cells, the cleavage furrow pinches from the outside in to create two new cells, whereas in plant cells vesicles and the cell plate form inside the cell and eventually separate the cell into two new cells 23. The chromatids are the fish, with the spindle fibers being the fishing line and the centrosome being the pole, reeling the chromatids to opposite ends of the cell 24. Cloning is creating an exact replica of a chosen organism 25. The organism that donated the nucleus, because the nucleus contains the genetic material, the empty egg cell does not 26. Metaphase, the chromosomes are lined up in the middle of the cell 27. The control system is used to regulate cell growth and division, to ensure that cells reproduce at a rate that is conducive to overall organismal health

7 28. Cancer disables the ability of the cell to regulate the cell cycle. This causes affected cells to grow and divide uncontrollably, creating the tumors that are associated with the disease 29. G 0 is a stage that non-dividing cells are perpetually stuck in, because they never pass the G 1 checkpoint and proceed with division 30. Contact inhibition is a process that regulates cell division by stopping the cell cycle when a cell physically comes into contact with other cells. This prevents cells from dividing too rapidly. 31. Metastasis is usually associated with malignant tumors. This allows cancer cells to spread throughout the body much more rapidly. 32. Chemotherapy is used to slow cell division by disrupting the mitotic spindle used in mitosis. By disrupting mitosis, chemotherapy prevents both cancer cells and normal cells from dividing. 33. Chemotherapy. Since chemotherapy is more of a general medication, it affects both healthy and affected cells, resulting in systemic side effects. 34. Stem cell therapy is specifically used for treating cancers of the blood. Stem cells are particularly effective because they are undifferentiated cells that may develop into whatever type of cell is needed by the body. This could potentially supply a sick individual with a reserve of healthy cells for the affected body part(s). 35. Three 36. Embryonic- embryonic cells are pluripotent, which means they have the ability to differentiate into pretty much any cell in the body, whereas adult stem cells are multipotent, which means that their differentiating ability is limited 37. Nerve and muscle cells exist at G 0, meaning they will not continuously grow and divide, but instead will stay in their existing state. 38. Contact inhibition causes cells to stop dividing when they physically contact another cell. Cancer cells do not exhibit contact inhibition, which is one of the reasons they will continuously divide out of control. 39. A benign tumor is non-life threatening or otherwise damaging; malignant tumors can metastasize and spread the cancer to other parts of the body, and can be lifethreatening 40. Chemotherapy consists of a combination of medicines administered which will disrupt the reproduction process of cancerous and healthy cells in the body, whereas radiation treatment is used on localized areas of the body. 41. Blood cancers 42. Just as a traffic light controls whether vehicles can proceed or need to stop, a checkpoint controls whether the cell can divide, or if it must stop. 43. Pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into most other types of cell in the body, multipotent stem cells are limited in their differentiation abilities. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, adult stem cells, contained in organs that must regenerate lost cells or continue to grow, are multipotent. 44. Gamete (sperm or egg) 45. Diploid 46. Doctors can use karyotypes to diagnose chromosomal disorders by analyzing the number and shape of chromosomes 47. An allele is a alternative version of a gene. For example, you may have a brown allele or black allele for the hair color gene 48. One round of meiosis produces 4 daughter cells. In humans, each cell has 23 chromosomes

8 49. Crossing-over exchanges pieces of homologous chromosomes during each round of meiosis, ensuring that each cell produced through meiosis has a unique set of DNA 50. Independent Assortment is the fact that chromosomes align independently of each other during metaphase 1 of meiosis. This increases genetic diversity because the chromosomes will align differently through each round of meiosis, and with 23 pairs of chromosomes, there are 8 million different potential combinations of chromosomes 51. Nondisjunction is when chromosomes do not separate correctly during meiosis, resulting in gametes with an incorrect number of chromosomes. 52. Trisomy would be exhibited by identifying three chromosomes at one of the 23 locations in a karyotype 53. An individual with Turner s syndrome would have XO, meaning she would have one X chromosome, and would lack a second sex chromosome. Monosomy indicates only one chromosome, and YO would be fatal. 54. A zygote with polyploidy will have a full extra set of chromosomes 55. Diploid 56. Homologous chromosomes are the same size, shape and contain the same genes, one is received from each parent 57. A male would have the sex chromosome combination of XY, Females have XX 58. Instead of replicating DNA after the first round of meiosis, the second round continues without replication, ensuring that the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is half that of the parent cells 59. No. Crossing over only occurs in gametes 60. Meiosis II is pretty much identical to mitosis, without the same number of chromosomes 61. If fertilization occurs between two cells that do not have the correct number of chromosomes, or have experienced some form of nondisjunction, birth defects often result from this process 62. Aneuploidy is when fertilization occurs involving a gamete that has experienced an error in chromosome separation, monosomy and trisomy are both possible results 63. No, as long as one X chromosome is present, monosomy of sex chromosomes is not fatal. If only a Y chromosome is present, it would be fatal 64. Polyploidy in plants sometimes results in larger, more productive plants, and is sometimes necessary for the completion of a life cycle. In humans, it is fatal Types of Cellular Reproduction a. Mitosis results in two cells where there was one. The parent cell and the daughter cell have the same number (diploid) of chromosomes. b. Meiosis results immediately in four cells. All of the cells have half the chromosome number (haploid) of the original cell. c. Mitosis occurs when older cells must be replaced, when an organism is growing, when a repair is being made within an organism, to reproduce asexually (if this is possible for the organism), to regenerate a lost part. (any three of these listed) d. In order for offspring to have the correct number of chromosomes within its cells (diploid, the same number as parent cells), during sexual reproduction, the number of chromosomes in gametes (or egg and sperm) must be halved. When gametes then combine, the correct number of chromosomes exist in

9 the developing organism. Meiosis accomplishes this halving of the chromosome number. 2. Cancer a. Cancer occurs with uncontrolled cell division. The cell cycle control system stops regulating the correct amount cell reproduction, so cell reproduction (mitosis) continues unchecked. In non-cancerous cells the cell cycle control system is in the off position during G1 (gap 1) and G2 (gap 2) and cell reproduction (mitosis) cannot go forward unless a specific signal occurs that allows mitosis to proceed. b. Tumors are masses of cells that do not respond to contact inhibition and continue dividing past any need for new cells. The term malignant is given to cancers that are harmful and/or lethal by damaging surrounding tissues. Benign tumors are masses of cells that do not severely damage surrounding tissues and that are not life threatening. 3. Cancer Treatment a. Non-systemic means that the treatment, radiation, most affects the cells in the location where it is applied. Systemic treatments, such as chemotherapy, affect the cells throughout the body in addition to the cancerous cells. b. Chemotherapy most typically disrupts the formation of spindles. Without these structures the chromatids cannot travel from the center of the dividing cell (during mitosis) to the poles during anaphase. Mitosis cannot successfully occur. c. Radiation damages the DNA inside of cells, which does not allow the cells to continue dividing. 4. Karyotype a. This is a karyotype of a somatic cell. There are 46 total chromosomes, the number found in a diploid cell, which is a somatic cell. b. This is the karyotype of a male. By definition, if cells contain a Y chromosome, regardless of how many X chromosomes may be present, the organism is male. c. There are no chromosomal abnormalities. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in this karyotype, therefore, this is a normal male. 5. Meiosis a. Chromosome can line up during metaphase 1, in any combination of chromosomes from mother or father. This is called independent assortment. b. Independent assortment allows a gamete to carry some chromosomes from the mother and some chromosomes from the father. This random assortment means that brothers and sisters receive differing amounts of chromosomes from either parent with them all still adding up to 46 total. Therefore, siblings may appear (or produce proteins) extremely similarly to completely differently depending upon this random independent assortment.
