Chapter 12 1. P. J. van Beneden proposed that an egg and a sperm‚ each containing half the complement of chromosomes found in somatic cells‚ fuse to produce a single cell called a _______. 2. _______ is a process of nuclear division in which the number of chromosomes in certain cells is halved during gamete formation. 3. ______ cells such as gametes contain one set of chromosomes. 4. Organisms that undertake sexual reproduction alternate between ______ and fertilization. 5. The two

Practical 1: Observation of mitosis in garlic root tips Introduction The practical will involve the preparation‚ observation‚ and classification‚ of the various stages of mitosis by observing garlic root tips using a microscope. The study comes under the heading of cytogenetics which is the visual characterisation of genetic material and the study of how that material reacts during the life of the cell. Strictly speaking‚ mitosis is the division of the nucleus into two daughter nuclei that are

Prophase This answer can be found in the book on page 232‚ “Prophase – centrosomes move away from each other‚ propelled partly by the lengthening microtubules between them.” 4.) If cells in the process of dividing are subjected to colchicine‚ a drug that interferes with the formation of the mitotic spindle apparatus‚ at which stage will

biological cycles at a cellular level include the cell cycle‚ mitosis and meiosis. Most eukaryotic cells follow this process‚ which includes a growth stage‚ mitosis or nuclear division‚ and cytokinesis. Throughout interphase‚ the cell undergoes growth and metabolic activities. Interphase can be further broken down into G1 (where normal cell functions occur‚ as

cycle and describe the sequence of events that occurs during each phase. There are two main stages of the cell cycle‚ with multiple subdivisions within each. Interphase is the first stage‚ and it’s composed of G1 (contents of the cell are duplicated sans the chromosomes)‚ S (chromosomal duplication)‚ and G2 (checkpoints) phase. After interphase‚ there is the mitotic phase. The mitotic phase is composed of mitosis (division) and then cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm=2 daughter cells). The cell cycle

Why do cells divide? There are many reasons for this. Cells absorb and release nutrients threw their membrane. The larger the cell‚ the harder it is to get rid of all the waste that is produced. So‚ if there are many small cells (more surface area) rather than one large cell‚ the waste can be disposed of more readily. The other 3 reasons are critical to the survival of all organisms: Growth‚ repair and reproduction. • Growth: This is a result of mitosis. The more cells in an organism‚ the larger
