Concept explainers
When Paramecium conjugate:
a. cytoplasmic division produces four daughter cells, eachhaving two micronuclei and two macronuclei.
b. one haploid micronucleus in each cell remains intact; theother three degenerate. The micronucleus of each cell divides once, producing two nuclei, and each cell exchanges one nucleus with the other cell. In each partner the two micronuclei fuse, forming a diploid zygote micronucleus in each cell.
c. the micronucleus of each of the disengaged partners divides meiotically. Macronuclei divide again in each cell, and the original micronucleus breaks down. Each cell has two haploid micronuclei; one of the macronuclei develops into a micronucleus.
d. the mating cells join together at opposite sites of their oral depression.
e. the micronucleus in each cell undergoes mitosis. When mitosis is complete, there are four diploid macronuclei; the micronucleus then breaks down.

- on Karyogamy is a term used to describe: O a. A Mode of cell division in fungi O b. Joining of two haploid nuclei of O c. Asexual reproduction of yeast O d. Chromosomes in the nucleus O e. Fusion of cytoplasm ofarrow_forwardExplain why mitosis I is considered a reduction division and describe why that is important in sexual reproductionarrow_forward8. Locate a “column” of cells in Allium root tip in which you can see two distinct mitosis stages adjacent to each other. In the space below sketch, and label the “phase” of each cell.arrow_forward
- for this week's lab, you will be studying images of the onion root and identifying cells in various stages of the cells cycle. Using the practice image given in the handout, explain how you are albe to tell the stages apart.arrow_forwardlabel the somatic and reproductive cells of volvox (please draw on the picture and put arrow)arrow_forwardWhat does it mean when chromosomes are said to condense during prophase of mitosis? How long are chromosomes after condensation is complete? How big is a typical dividing cell in a root or shoot? If a chromosome were still 20 μm long after condensation, would it be possible for division to pull half of it to one end of the cell and the other half to theother end?arrow_forward

- A cytology student believes he has identified an individual with monoploidy. The instructor views the dividing cells under the microscope and correctly dismisses the claim. Why was the claim dismissed? What types of cells were being viewed?arrow_forwardThe image shows a section of a root tip of Broad Bean with cells from the region of cell division, just behind the root cap. Five cells have been numbered (1-5). Which statements accurately describe the mechanism by which the cells ensure that chromosomes are passed successfully to the next generation? Select ALL that apply. A - Cell 2 is undergoing anaphase to separate the duplicated chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell. B - Cell 1 lacks chromosomes and cannot contribute genetic material to future cells. C - Cells 4 and 5 have recently divided and are now haploid, containing half of a full set of chromosomes after division. D - Cells 4 and 5 have recently divided and have a cell plate that formed between them. E - Cell 3 is providing a mechanism for increasing genetic diversity in the daughter cells.arrow_forwardIf the spores of a fungus are haploid and divide to form the hyphae by mitosis, then what are the cells of the hyphae (haploid, diploid, tripled) ?arrow_forward
