The ___ of a cell cycle differs for different organisms and cells. | length |
A cell performs specific ___ during interphase. | functions |
___ consists of three phases: G1, S, and G2. | Interphase |
In ___ the cell grows and carries out normal functions. | G1 |
Some cells such as muscle, nerve, and red blood cells, stay in G1 and never ___. | reproduce |
In S phase, the ___ chromosome pairs in the cell’s nucleus replicate. | homologous |
The copies of the chromosomes made during S phase are ___ ___. | sister chromatids |
The replication ensures that the new cells formed are ___. | identical |
In ___ phase, the cell grows and functions, and some organelles replicate. | G2 |
___ is the process by which the nucleus divides. | Mitosis |
___ is the process by which thecytoplasm divides. | Cytokinesis |
Mitosis and ___ ___ ensure that each new cell receives all it needs to function. | cell division |
Mitosis and cell division ___ old worn-out cells, and are the method of reproduction for some organisms. | replace |
Mitosis and cell division produce most cells in a ___-___ organism. | many-celled |
A different type of cell division produces ___ and egg cells. | sperm |
There are ___ phases of mitosis. | four |
In ___, DNA in chromosomes twists into tight coils and the nucleus breaks apart. | prophase |
In ___, the chromosomes move to the middle of the cell and pairs of sisterchromatids line up. | metaphase |
In ___, fibers attached to the centromere of the sister chromatids pull them apart toward opposite ends of the cell. | anaphase |
In ___, a new membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, creating twoidentical nuclei, and chromosomes become less tightly coiled. | telophase |
___ is the final stage of cell division. | Cytokinesis |
The cytoplasm and its contents divide to form two identical ___ ___. | daughter cells |
At the start of cytokinesis, the cell membrane ___ inward. | pinches |
In a cell with a cell wall, a ___ ___ forms between the two new nuclei. | cell plate |
The cell plate later becomes the cell ___, which builds the new cell walls. | membrane |
Cell division results in ___ new daughter cells to replace the original parent cell. | two |
The daughter cells’ chromosomes are identical to the parent cell’s in ___ and type. | number |
All the cells in your body, except sperm and ___ cells, have identical chromosomes. | egg |
A ___-___ organism carries out all the functions it needs to survive. | one-celled |

Each one-celled ___ has a nucleus and organelles with specialized functions. | eukaryote |
One-celled eukaryotes include ___ and some fungi. | protists |
One-celled eukaryotes are more complex than cells in ___-___ eukaroytes because theyare self-sufficient. | many-celled |
Cells in many-celled organisms ___ on other cells to perform different functions. | depend |
Some protists, including Volvox, live and function in ___ with specialized cells. | colonies |
Many-celled organisms have many ___ and usually have more than one type of cell. | cells |
Cell ___ is the process by which cells become different types of cells. | differentiation |
