Chapter 11

Compare and contrast the ways in which prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells divide.

Describe three situations in which mitotic cell division occurs.

Name the five steps of mitosis, and draw the structure and position of the chromosomes at each step.

Describe how chromosomes behave in meiosis. State when chromosomes are duplicated (forming sister chromatids) and when they are not duplicated.

Compare and contrast mitotic cell division and meiotic cell division in terms of number of products, number of cell divisions, and the processes unique to each.

Name two ways in which meiotic cell division creates genetic diversity, and explain how each occurs.

Explain how cytokinesis differs between animal and plant cells.

Describe the roles of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases in the cell cycle.

Give three examples of checkpoints that the cell monitors before proceeding through the cell cycle.

Describe what an oncogene, a proto-oncogene, and a tumor suppressor gene do.
