25 Questions

1. The spindle apparatus disappears. A nuclear membrane forms around each set of newly formed chromosomes. Thus - each nucleus contains the same number of chromosomes (the diploid number 2n) as the original or parent nucleus. The chromosomes uncoil - re

2. Meristems provide a source of cells that can develop into an adult plant -can occur naturally or through human intervention -advantagous because it introduces no genetic variation and is a rapid form of reproduction

3. Produced when one diploid primary female sex cell undergoes meiosis in the ovaries

4. Result when a single zygote splits into two embryos

5. AKA stolon -woody - underground stems -can develop new upright stems

6. Triggered by acrosomal reaction causing calcium ions to be released into the cytoplasm

7. Part of embryo that develops from the outer covering of the ovule

8. Chromosomes condense - and the centriole pairs (in animals) separate and move towards the opposite poles of the cell. the spindle apparatus forms between them - and the nuclear membrane dissolves - allowing the spindle fibers to interact with the chr

9. Produced when each meiotic division -rapidly degenerate

10. Formed due to cortical reaction -hard layer that surrounds the ovum cell membrane and prevents multiple fertilizations -Followed by the fusion of sperm nucleus and form a diploid zygote

11. The embryonic undifferentiated cells that growth in higher plants are restricted to -undergo active cell reproduction

12. Can be fertilized during the 12-24hr after ovulation -occurs in the lateral - widest portion of the fallopian tube -sperm must travel through the vaginal canal - cervix - uterus - and into the fallopian tubes to reach the ovum

13. Produces two intermediate daughter cells with N chromosomes with sister chromatids

14. Tail of sperm -propels the sperm - whereas mitochondria in the neck and body provide energy the locomotion

15. Secretes estrogen and progesterone

16. Have one cotyledon

17. Near the end of telophase - the cytoplasm divides into two daughter cells - each wit a complete nucleus and its own set of organelles -In animal cells - a cleavage furrow forms - and the cell membrane indents along the equator of the cell and finally

18. Immature ova -all that a female will produce during her lifetime are already in her ovaries at birth

19. After ovulation - LH induces the ruptured follicle to develop into the corpus luteum

20. Centromeres split so that each chromatid has its own distinct centromere - thus allowing sister chromatids to separate. The sister chromatids are pulled toward the opposite poles of the cell by the shortening of the spindle fibers. Spindle fibers are

21. Diploid cells of spermatogonia

22. Comlex process involving the formation and fertilization of gametes and regulation of these processes by bot parents

23. Replication of the nucleus followed by unequal cytokinesis -membrane pinches inward to forma new cell that is smaller in size but genetically identical to the parent cell

24. Practiced by terrestrial vertebrates and provides a direct route for sperm to reach the egg cell -increased chance for fertilization success and females produce fewer eggs

25. Cell division that follows karyokinesis
