question
kinetoplast
answer
independently replicating
disk-shaped mass of circular mitochondrial DNA
found inside large mitochondria
seen only in kinetoplastea protozoa

question
chloroplasts
answer
organelles of photosynthesis in plants/algae
dual membrane
70S ribosomes w/in eukaryotic cell
photosynthetic
question
metaphase 1 of meiosis
answer
chromosomes line up on mid-cell plate in tetrads
for each homologous chromosome pair, one is attached to each opposite pole
question
telophase of mitosis
answer
membranes form around daughter nuclei and DNA becomes less compact
cell division occurs here
question
mitosis prophase
answer
DNA replicated
DNA condenses into visible chromosomes
nuclear membrane breaks down
question
mitosis anaphase
answer
chromosomes break into 2 identical chromatids
pulled to opposite poles
question
meiosis anaphase 1
answer
tetrads break up
homologous chromosomes are seperated, move to opp poles
forms 2 haploid nuclear regions
question
mitosis metaphase
answer
chromosomes line up on mid-cell plate attaced to spindle fibers to both poles
question
interphase
answer
time between cell division
question
mitosis telophase
answer
nuclear membrane reappears around chromosomes
cytoplasm divides along the mid cell plate
question
algae
answer
cell walls composed of cellulose
photosynthetic
most have mitochondria
most are aerobic

euglenophyta
answer
euglena
no cell wall
thick flexible membrane

question
chlorophyta
answer
green algae
cell walls are cellulose
actually are plants
question

sexual spores
develop in a sac
produced by meiosis
question
basidiospores
answer
club-shaped cells found on gills of mushrooms and toadstools
develops from dikaryotic mycelium
question
zymcota
answer
molds like rhizopus
reproduce asexually by sporangiospores
question
lichens
answer
community of microorganisms
forms from symbiosis between fungus and green algae/cyanobacteria

used to make beer
grows fastest in presence of air
carries out alcohol fermentation in absence of air
question
candida albicans
answer
