Cell Division (9)
Mitosis, Meiosis, and Binary Fission
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What happens in interphase G1? | Cell grows |
| What happens in interphase S? | Cell duplicates DNA |
| What happens in interphase G2? | Cell grows |
| How is DNA organized in interphase? | Loosely |
| What happens in mitosis prophase? | DNA and proteins condense into tightly coiled chromosomes, nuclear envelope breaks down, centrioles move to poles, spindle fibers form |
| What happens in mitosis metaphase? | Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes pair's centromere and align pairs along cell's equator |
| What happens in mitosis anaphase? | Chromatids separate to opposite sides of cell, cytokinesis may begin |
| What happens in mitosis telophase? | Nuclear membranes form, chromosomes begin uncoiling, spindle fibers fall apart |
| What happens in mitosis cytokinesis? | Cytoplasm divides between two daughter cells with identical nuclei, cells begin cycle |
