Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

20 notecards = 5 pages (4 cards per page)

back 1

46

front 2

How many chromosomes are in a gametic cell?

back 2

23

front 3

Define gene

back 3

unit of DNA that contains the information to specify synthesis of single polypeptide chain.

front 4

The total DNA in the chromosomes of an organism is referred as its __________

back 4

genome

front 5

Define sister chromatids

back 5

duplicated chromosome (2 strands)

front 6

The cell cycle is composed of ______________ (I) and __________ (M) phase

back 6

interphase, mitotic

front 7

Mitotic phase consists of both mitosis and cytokinesis. The former one is divided to _____ subphases

back 7

five

front 8

What are the names of the phases in mitotic division?

back 8

Interphase, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis

front 9

Animal cells form a __________ __________ while plant cells form a ______ ________ to separate.

back 9

cleavage furrow, cell plate

front 10

Define a checkpoint in a cell

back 10

a critical control point where stop and go signals can regulate the cycle

front 11

Which signal has to be overridden, the "stop" signal or the "go" signal?

back 11

stop

front 12

What does Cdk abbreviate?

back 12

Cyclin dependant kinases

front 13

What does MPF abbreviate?

back 13

maturation promotion factor

front 14

What is MPF?

back 14

Cdk-cyclin complex, a cyclin and a Cdk attached to each other

front 15

MPF and cyclin levels rise and fall during mitosis. At what point are MPF levels the highest? When do the levels of cyclin reach their highest and lowest points?

back 15

MPF levels start from zero, peak and return to zero during mitosis. Cyclin levels are lowest during the end of mitosis and rise slowly until they peak in the middle of mitosis

front 16

Anaphase promoting complex (APC) is normally in an inactive state. What triggers it into an active state?

back 16

when all the kinetochores are attached to the spindle at the metaphase plate

front 17

What three things are required for animal cells to divide?

back 17

PDGF – platelet-derived growth factor, enough space, Anchorage - attachement to a substratum

front 18

When cancer cells divide which external inhibitor do they lack? (Scientific term)

back 18

Density-dependent inhibition

front 19

What are the two types of tumors and what is the difference between them?

back 19

Benign tumor is localised at original site, malignant tumor becomes invasive

front 20

The spread of cancer cells beyond their original site is called __________

back 20
