Chapter 5, Problem 2QSDC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind mitochondria or chloroplast not being taken out of a living eukaryotic cell and being madeto survive on its own.
Introduction:
Mitochondria and chloroplasts were once believed to be primal bacterial cells. Ithas been described in theendosymbiotic theory. Two different species benefitting from living and working together is called symbiosis.

Why do eukaryotic cells need to go through the elaborate procedure of mitosis rather than simply dividing during interphase? Select as many answers as apply.
1.Daughter cells must be genetically identical to the mother cell, for homeostasis and ordered tissue growth.
2.Bivalent chromosomes must condense and be separated in an orderly fashion, to allow equal distribution of copies into daughter cells
3.Physically dividing the nucleus during interphase would likely lead to gross chromosome breakage and highly unequal assortment of genetic information into daughter cells.
4.Dividing the nucleus during interphase would have the same outcome as mitosis
5.Daughter cells must have half the number of chromosomes after mitosis than the mother cells
6.The homologous pairs of chromosomes need to be separated, to ensure copies go to the daughter cells.
Select the statements below that are TRUE.
Select 4 correct answer(s)
Question 14 options:
A)
Mutations are induced to occur in response to a selective pressure.
B)
Crossover suppression occurs when no recombinant progeny are observed between two genes located within a homozygous paracentric inversion.
C)
The ends of each chromosome are replicated by an RNA-protein complex called telomerase.
D)
When a mismatched base pair occurs during DNA replication, mismatch repair corrects the mismatch by replacing the nucleotide on the template strand.
E)
Mutations occur spontaneously and so may be pre-existing in a population when a selective pressure arises.
F)
When two genes are linked, the frequency of recombinant types exceeds the frequency of parental types.
G)
The choice…
Hypothetically, a cell has DNA that weighs 10 picograms. This cell goes through S phase and is about to undergo mitosis. How much does the DNA of this cell weight now? How much would the DNA of the two cells produced at the end of mitosis weigh? Explain your reasoning.

To create the image, researchers put cells in culture under conditions that encourage the cells to divide. They bathed the cells in a hypotonic (low salt) solution, which caused the cells to swell until their plasma membrane burst open. They "squashed" the chromosomes to spread them out, and stained them with a dye to make them visible under the microscope. Human chromosomes are numbered from longest (1) to shortest (22) plus the sex chromosomes X and Y. In the image chromosome 1 is about 7 micrometers. Answer the following questions. 1) What word(s) in the description above indicates that the chromosomes are not from a cell undergoing meiosis? 2) Based on the size, shape and appearance of the chromosomes in the image, in what cell cycle stage was the cell that the chromosomes came from?
