Assigment #2
CELLULAR REPRODUCTION , CELL DIVISION, MITOSIS – 3 POINTS
· What is the relationship between a genome, a chromosome and genes?
· Briefly describe the events that occur in each phase of interphase.
· Describe the similarities and differences between the cytokinesis mechanisms found in animal cells versus those
in plant cells.
· Outline the steps that lead to a cell becoming cancerous.
· Compare and contrast the roles of the positive cell-cycle regulators negative regulators
· Name the common components of eukaryotic cell division and binary fission.
MEIOSIS AND SEXUAL REPRODUCTION (3 points)
· Describe the process that results in the formation of a tetrad
· In a comparison of the stages of meiosis to the stages of mitosis, which stages are unique to meiosis and which
stages have the same events in both meiosis and mitosis?
· Animals and plants both have diploid and haploid cells. How does the animal life cycle differ from the alternation
of generations exhibited by plants?
THE DNA MOLECULE (3 points)
· Describe the structure of the eukaryotic DNA
· Discuss the similarities and differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic DNA
· In eukaryotic cells, DNA and RNA synthesis occur in a separate compartment from protein synthesis. In
prokaryotic cells, both processes occur together. What advantages might there be to separate the processes? What
advantages might there be to have them occur together?
