Chromosomes are duplicated during ___ of the cell cycle?

S phase

If meiosis did not occur in sexually reproducing organisms, then:

chromosome number would double in each generation

crossing-over and the random assortment of maternal and paternal chromosomes

A zygote contains the ____ complement of chromosomes.

diploid

A cell in G2

has twice the amount of DNA present in a telophase nucleus.

The correct number of chromosomes is maintained during sexual reproduction sexual reproduction by:

meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number by half

The M phase of the cell cycle involves two main processes, ____.

mitosis and cytokinesis.

The ___ is responsible for the separation of the chromosomes during ___ of mitosis.

mitotic spindle; anaphase

Which of the following represents the sequence of events during mitosis?

prophase- metaphase- anaphase- telophase

A cell is in metaphase if

the chromosomes are aligned on the equatorial plane of the cell

What is the function of nucleosomes?

to help DNA replicate

An animal with a diploid number of 36 chromosomes will have ___ chromosomes in its gammetes and ___ chromosomes in its somatic cells.

18;36

A human bone marrow cell, in prophase of mitosis contains 46 chromosomes. How many chromatids does it contain altogether?

92

___ contain identical DNA sequences and are held together by ____ during mitosis.

Sister chromatids; centromeres

To prevent disastrous consequences, the eukaryotic cell cycle is controlled by:

a series of cell cycle checkpoints

A maternal homologue and a paternal homologue synapse to form:

a tetrad
