What must happen before a cell can begin mitosis?
The chromosomes must be duplicated.
What would be the immediate consequence of destroying a cell's centrosomes?
The mitotic spindle would not form.
The M phase of mitosis and M phase of meiosis both occur after interphase. However, the two processes differ in the arrangement and behavior of their chromosomes. How?
The pairing up of homologous chromosomes and crossing over only occur during meiosis.
Although in humans there are 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes, only three different chromosomal trisomies are commonly seen in newborns. Of the remaining 19 autosomes, many trisomies have not been seen in newborns. Why not?
Trisomy for the other autosomal chromosomes is often lethal, and the affected embryos are miscarried.
