BioBeyond Unit 6: Cellular Replication
Do you think this process is the same for all cells? - ✔✔No, because prokaryotic cells would
need more complex processes due to the cell wall
See if you can identify which steps should occur in binary fission below: - ✔✔Two genetically
identical cells are present
DNA is copied in place
Cell wall and membrane pinch closed
DNA migrates to either side of cell
See if you can order the images from the first to last step starting on the left. - ✔✔Circle with
one green circle inside
the green circle are divide into two green circles
the cell wall is starting to break in the middle
the picture with the red arrows
two separate circles with one green circle inside each
Binary fission is used by: - ✔✔Prokaryotes
And produces: - ✔✔Two genetically identical cells
Eukaryotes (plants, animals, and fungi) reproduce differently than prokaryotes on a cellular
level. Which of the following do you think contributes most to this different process? -
✔✔Eukaryotes are multicellular
What do you see happening in the images to the right? - ✔✔The genetic material is being copied
What appears different? - ✔✔The genetic material has condensed
Do you think chromosomes would always be shaped like an X? Why or why not? - ✔✔No -
other organisms might have differently shaped chromosomes
What has happened in metaphase? Select all that apply: - ✔✔The chromosomes have connected
to something on either end of the cell
The nucleus has dissolved
Chromosomes are lining up in the middle of the cell
What do you see happening in anaphase? Select all that apply. - ✔✔The chromosomes are
moving to either end of the cell
The chromosomes have split in half
What is present on either end of the cell at the end of anaphase? - ✔✔One complete set of
genetic information
What appears to be occurring in telophase in the image at right? Select all that apply. - ✔✔A
new nucleus has formed on either end of the cell
What happens in cytokinesis? Select all that apply. - ✔✔The cytoplasm has been sealed between
the two new cells
The cell has divided
Mitosis is used by: - ✔✔Eukaryotes
And produces: - ✔✔Two genetically identical cells
Thinking back to what you learned about cell types, how are prokaryotes different from
eukaryotes? Select all that apply: - ✔✔Prokaryotes do not have organelles
Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus
Prokaryotes usually have less DNA than eukaryotes
Prokaryotes are smaller than eukaryotes
Which of these traits of prokaryotes do you also see in the diagram of the mitochondria? Select
all that apply: - ✔✔No nucleus
No organelles
Overall size smaller than eukaryotes
Which of the following is a good description of a mutualistic relationship? - ✔✔Both organisms
benefit
What benefit does the cell get from the mitochondria or chloroplast? - ✔✔Increased energy
What benefits does the mitochondria or chloroplast get from the cell? Select all that apply -
✔✔Nutrients
Defense
Can you remember them? - ✔✔Mitochondria
Chloroplast
How do they replicate? - ✔✔Binary Fission
What is the scientific theory that describes why they replicate separately? - ✔✔Endosymbiosis
Why might this create a problem for a species' adaptation and survival? - ✔✔Adaptation requires
genetic variation, and these processes do not introduce any variation
To illustrate the outcome of meiosis, think back to genetics - what do you know about your
genome? - ✔✔Half comes from your father, half from your mother
What does the makeup of your genome mean about your genes? - ✔✔You have one copy each
from both your father and mother
In order for each parent to contribute half of the genome of the child, what has to happen? -
✔✔Each parent needs to produce a cell with half of the information of their own genome
What do you recall is the outcome of mitosis, which is similar to the outcome of meiosis I? -
✔✔Two genetically identical cells
How much genetic information is in each cell at the end of mitosis? - ✔✔Normal
What differences do you see? - ✔✔Meiosis doesn't split chromatids
Meiosis mixes genetic material during cell division
Meiosis I
put pictures in order left to right - ✔✔4 yellow strings above the red and blue X
the yellow strings on each side going toward the X's
the yellow strings putting the X's apart
the half of the X's about to be in different cells
What are the outcomes of meiosis II?
Number of cells: - ✔✔Four
Genome size of cells: - ✔✔Half (haploid)
Genome size of cells: - ✔✔Identical
