kinetochore of the centromere

the kinetochore serves which of the following functions? - kinetochores anchor spindle fibers to the centrioles - kinetochores attach to microtubules during mitosis - kinetochores regulate the length of the cell cycle - kinetochores are the site of DNA synthesis - kinetochores are involved in cytokinesis

kinetochores attach to microtubules during mitosis

besides the ability of some cancer cells to overproliferate, what else could logically result in a tumor? - none of the above - inability of chromosomes to meet at the metaphase plate - lack of appropriate apoptosis - changes in the order of cell cycle stages - inability to form spindles

lack of appropriate apoptosis

the correct number of chromosomes is maintained during sexual reproduction by: - meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number by half - replication of chromosomes twice during meiosis - mitosis, which maintains the original chromosome number - a process by which one half of the chromosomes in gametes are removed - chromosome doubling in the newly formed zygote`

meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number by half

if a child more strongly resembles the maternal grandmother than the maternal grandfather, the explanation could be due to random chromosome alignment during the mother's - telophase I - metaphase II - prophase I - metaphase I - anaphase II

metaphase I

the chromosomes align at the midpoint of the spindle during _______ - metaphase - anaphase - interphase - telophase - cytokinesis - prophase

metaphse

a culture of mouse cells is treated with a chemical that interferes with the activity of microfilaments. which of the following will probably be affected the most? - pairing of chromosomes in S phase - cytokinesis - joining of the sister chromatids at the centromere - mitosis - chromosomes duplication

mitosis

the _____ is responsible for the separation of the chromosomes during _____ of mitosis - centromere ; telophase - mitotic spindle ; anaphase - kinetochore ; prophase - cell wall ; anaphase - flagellum ; metaphase

mitotic spindle ; anaphase

how many mature eggs are produced from a single initial cycle? - four - two - three - one - eight

one

the mature ovum is produced by maturation of the - oogonium - oocyte - secondary polar body - polar body I - none of these

oocyte

under favorable conditions, during which phase of meiosis with the chromosomes appear as packets for four chromatids? - prophase I - anaphase II - telophase II - metaphase II

prophase I

sexual reproduction: - produces genetic clones and requires less tissue differentiation than asexual reproduction - results in new combinations of genetic traits - leads to uniform characteristics in a population - produces genetic clones - requires less tissue differentiation than asexual reproduction

results in a new combination of genetic traits

which of the following events does not occur during meiosis I? - crossing over between homologous chromosomes - separation of homologous chromosomes - DNA exchange - separation of sister chromatids - pairing of homologous chromosomes

separation of sister chromatids

movement of the chromosomes during anaphase would be most affected by a drug that prevents - shortening of microtubules - elongation of microtubules - nuclear envelope breakdown - formation of a cleavage furrow

shortening of microtubules

copies of chromosomes linked together at their centromeres at the beginning of meiosis are appropriately called what kind of chromatids? - daughter - sister - homologous - mother - none of these

sister

during meiosis II - sister chromatids of each chromosome are separated from each other - homologous chromosomes separate - homologous chromosomes pair up - cytokinesis results in the formation of a total of two cells - sister chromatids exchange parts

sister chromatids of each chromosome are separated from each other

if meiosis did not occur in sexually reproducing organisms, - the zygote would be haploid - gametes would be haploid - the chromosome number would double in each generation - mitosis would be sufficient - eggs would be diploid but sperm would be haploid

the chromosome number would double in each generatio

a cell is in metaphase if: - the nuclear envelope is clearly visible - none of the above - the chromosomes are visible as thread-like structures - the chromosomes are aligned on the equatorial plane of the cell - the chromosomes are separated into distinct groups at opposite poles of the cell

the chromosomes are aligned on the equatorial plane of the cell

after mitosis, the chromosome number of a descendant cell is ____ the parent's cell - one half of - doubled compared to - the same as - rearranged compared to

the same as

a duplicated chromosome has ________ chromatids - three - one - four - two

two
