T/F: Asexual reproduction creates genetically identical cells
True
One of the benefits of this type of reproduction is that it is faster because less energy is used in finding a mate
Asexual
The type of cell that results from unregulated mitosis
Cancer
A human body cell goes through meiosis, each individual daughter cell should have this many chromosomes in it
23
An example of this type of tumor would be some types of moles and other localized tumors.
Benign
The process of how cells become specialized
Differentiation
Mitosis makes ______________ cells.
Identical (body)
This type of feedback loop is a response in which the effects of a reaction slow or stop (go in reverse) that reaction.
Negative Feedback Loop
Before cell division, DNA will get coiled up around protein to condense and form ________ .
Chromosomes
During Prophase 1 of meiosis, this process helps to create genetic variety in gametes
Crossing Over
Chemotherapy is used to treat these types of tumors (spreading)
Malignant (Metastatic)
During anaphase I, these pairs separate and become segregated into different gametes. We call this process
Independent assortment
This type of cell does not obey density dependence and will continue to divide despite encroaching on neighboring cells
Cancer
These types of cells are undifferentiated
Stem Cells
Meiosis creates 4 genetically ______________ cells.
Unique (different)
If a cancer has metastasized, that means it has now ____________ .
Spread
During this process cells divide twice
Meiosis
A term referring to having only one set of chromosomes
Haploid
This treatment for cancer works on rapidly dividing cells
Chemotherapy
The biological term for any type of sex cell
Gamete
The part of Interphase when chromosomes are copied in preparation for dividing
"S" Phase (synthesis)
T/F: A future benefit of stem cells could be to fix heart attack or brain damage
True
How does mitosis maintain homeostasis?
it creates new cells that can be used for growth and repair. During mitosis, one cell creates two identical daughter cells. These cells are necessary to replac
This process occurs in the reproductive structures of organisms
Meiosis
